Signed 'Renoir' lower left. - Browned all over with narrow light-stain; minor marginal defects due to age professionally restored. With a photo-certificate by Guy-Patrice and Floriane Dauberville, Bernheim-Jeune, Paris, dated 17 June 2014 (no. 214-0617 R); The drawing will be included in the forthcoming supplement volume of the "Catalogue raisonné des Tableuaux, pastels, dessins et aquarelles" of Pierre-Auguste Renoir under current preparation. Provenance Ader, Palais Galliéra, Paris, Vente anonyme, 7.3.1971, lot 20; Private collection, South Germany This impressive large-format sheet featuring the soft-edged drawing of a female nude seen from behind and in profile, turning slightly to the right, was probably created around 1910 to 1912 - it shows Renoir's favourite model during his late years. It is well known that Gabrielle Renard had already entered the household of the Renoirs in 1894 as a servant and particularly as a nanny for Jean; in Cagnes, until 1912, she would prove to be a veritably ideal nude model for the artist. In the classicism and fullness of her appearance she corresponded precisely to the artist's wishes, who rediscovered the female nude as a subject matter in his late work, creating diverse variations on it and stylising it into the grand, Baroque-classicistic as well as timeless theme of his painting. In the present drawing, a gracefully reserved study of the motion of a “Female Bather”, the abundant drapery surrounds the seated figure. Renoir drew and modelled a specific pose and a gesture which he could then repeatedly rework in his paintings. Thus, for example, the selected view is reminiscent of the 1912 picture “Baigneuse assise s'essuyant le bras droit” (Dauberville 4331), one of the large paintings of nudes that once adorned an entire wall of the Bernheim-Jeune dining room (see photo for comparison).Pierre-Auguste Renoir Gabrielle, nu assis de profil Kohlezeichnung, gewischt, auf Büttenpapier mit Wasserzeichen "INGRES" bzw. "VIDALON" (fragmentiert). 57,7 x 46,5 cm. Unter Glas gerahmt. Unten links signiert 'Renoir'. - Insgesamt gebräunt mit schmalem Lichtrand; kleine altersbedingte Randverletzungen fachmännisch restauriert. Mit einer Foto-Expertise von Guy-Patrice und Floriane Dauberville, Bernheim-Jeune, Paris, vom 17. Juni 2014 (No. 214-0617 R); die Zeichnung wird in den in Vorbereitung befindlichen zweiten Supplément-Band zum "Catalogue raisonné des Tableuaux, pastels, dessins et aquarelles" von Pierre-Auguste Renoir aufgenommen. Provenienz Ader, Palais Galliéra, Paris, Vente anonyme, 7.3.1971, Lot 20; Süddeutsche Privatsammlung Beeindruckend das großformatige Blatt mit der weichen Zeichnung eines weiblichen Rückenaktes, leicht nach rechts ins Profil gewendet, wahrscheinlich in den Jahren um 1910-1912 entstanden - es zeigt Renoirs in den späten Jahren bevorzugtes Modell. Gabrielle Renard kam bekanntlich schon 1894 als Bedienstete und vor allem als Kindermädchen für Jean in den Haushalt der Renoirs; in Cagnes sollte sie sich bis 1912 als geradezu ideales Aktmodell für den Künstler erweisen. Sie entsprach in der Klassizität und Fülle ihrer Erscheinung genau den Wünschen des Künstlers, der in seinem Spätwerk den weiblichen Akt als Bildgegenstand wieder neu entdeckte, vielfältig variierte und zum großen, barock-antikisierenden wie zeitlosen Thema seiner Malerei stilisierte. In der vorliegenden Zeichnung, eine anmutig verhaltene Bewegungsstudie einer „Badenden“, umfängt eine üppige Draperie die sitzende Gestalt. Renoir zeichnete und modellierte eine bestimmte Haltung und eine Geste, die er dann in seiner Malerei immer wieder verarbeiten konnte. So erinnert die gewählte Ansicht etwa an „Baigneuse assise s'essuyant le bras droit“ von 1912 (Dauberville 4331), eines der großen Aktgemälde, die einst eine ganze Wand im Speisezimmer der Bernheim-Jeunes schmückten (s. Vergleichsabb.). - - - 24.00 % buyer's premium on the hammer price (20.00 % on the part of the hammer price exceeding 400,001 EUR) 19.00 % VAT on buyer's premium and other charges; not indicated and not reclaimable; VAT margin scheme
