About the Item
French Romantic school, circa 1830
Portrait of a young soldier,
pencil on paper
Framed under glass : 38 x 30 cm
It's a vintage frame, probablly original but I had the back redone
The first part of the 19th century was a golden age for portraiture. Firstly because it was less and less the preserve of an elite and because the technical mastery of portrait artists was real and important.
The success of a portrait is really - and this drawing illustrates it perfectly - to convey not only the physical aspect of a person but also their character traits. And with this portrait in particular, it seems to me that we can read the whole personality of this young soldier, who seems a little impatient and in a hurry when he has to strike a pose, and above all, sure of himself. He has all the makings of a romantic character, he could be the hero of a Stendhal novel. Without knowing anything about him, we have the impression of guessing him.

- Jules-Eugène Lenepveu (1819-1898) Portrait of a man in profile, signed drawingLocated in Paris, FRJules-Eugène Lenepveu (1819-1898) Portrait of a man in profile signed on the lower right Pencil and heightenings of white gouache on paper 19.5 x 13 cm Framed : 29 x 22.7 cm Jules-Eugène Lenepveu is of course particularly well known for his large-scale paintings, such as the one on the ceiling of the Paris Opera, but his work here is much more delicate and intimate. We recognise the artist's mastery of talent, but the play of textures, with its highlights of white that enliven and illuminate the model's face, is also very subtle. There's a particularly charming sense of life and impression of light. Jules-Eugène Lenepveu was born in Angers on 12 December 1819, on the site of the street that now bears his name, into a family of small shopkeepers. The painter showed a deep attachment to his family throughout his life through his correspondence and the many portraits of his relatives. He entered the drawing school in Angers in 1833, where he was a pupil of Jean-Michel Mercier. There he rubbed shoulders with the sculptor Ferdinand Taluet. He arrived in Paris in 1837 and entered the Beaux-Arts, where he was officially admitted to François-Édouard Picot's studio in 1838. He exhibited his work "L'Idylle" at the Salon of 1843 and, that same year, left for his first visit to Italy. He was awarded the Second Prix de Rome in 1843 for "Cincinnatus recevant les députés du Sénat" (Cincinnatus receiving the deputies of the Senate), then the First Prize in 1847 for "La Mort de Vitellius" (The Death of Vitellius). A resident at the Villa Médicis from 1848, he was surrounded by painters Alexandre Cabanel, Léon Benouville, Gustave Boulanger, Félix Barrias...Category
