Joseph-Marie VIEN (1716-1809) - Lot 46
Joseph-Marie VIEN (1716-1809) Head of a young vestal virgin Pastel 23.5 x 18.2 cm Insolate, small stains, pasted in full on an antique mount annotated "Joseph-Marie Vien delineavit 1762". We recognize Vien's style in the melancholy attitude and almond-shaped eyes. Only one pastel portrait of his son is listed in T.W. Gaehtgers and J. Lugand, Joseph-Marie Vien Paris, 1988, ed. Arthena, no. 247. This study is to be compared with the series of vestals painted in 1762 for the bedroom and study of Madame Geoffrin (opus cited above, no. 181 to 184). Expert : Cabinet de Bayser
