Drawing, Study for the Sculpture "Autumn" for the Château de Wideville
This is a Drawing. It was created by Jacques Sarazin. It is dated after 1632 and we acquired it in 1931. Its medium is recto: red chalk on white laid paper; verso: black chalk, graphite. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Sarazin executed this luminous sketch for a garden sculpture in red chalk, a medium that is mined and cut into sticks. Since the 15th century, artists have exploited its color to suggest living flesh. A more finished design would have guided Sarazin’s assistant in translating the drawing to carved stone.
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled What Do the French Aristocracy and the Couturier Valentino Garavani Have in Common?.
