EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork titled "Study Woman Head Hands" created around 1717 by the renowned French artist Antoine Watteau. The piece, rendered in red and white chalk on graphite, is beautifully captured on off-white laid paper measuring 7 1/2 x 5 inches (19 x 12.7 cm). Watteau, born in Valenciennes in 1684 and later residing in Nogent-sur-Marne, was known for his unique artistic journey. This particular study exemplifies his talent as both a copyist and an esteemed member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. It was even approved as a morceau de réception within the newly established category of fêtes galantes. The image portrays a woman's head and hands with remarkable detail and delicacy. Watteau's masterful use of chalk brings out subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating depth that draws viewers into the subject's contemplative expression. As we admire this exquisite print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to early eighteenth-century France, where Watteau's artistry flourished amidst an era defined by elegance and refinement. This piece serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most celebrated artists.
