Description
Lehmann’s drawing belongs to a pair in which the artist explored a male figure represented in his Hôtel de Ville murals. This sheet examines the relationship between drapery and the body—a traditional object of study during an artist’s training. Lehmann paid particular attention to the undulating texture and shadows formed by the folds of the robe.- Lehmann, Henri, and Marie-Madeleine Aubrun. Henri Lehmann, 1814-1882: portraits et décors parisiens : 7 juin-4 septembre 1983, Musée Carnavalet. [Paris]: Le Musée, 1983. p. 219, entry # D.921
