Lot Essay
Bei Giovanni Giacomettis Zeichnung Ottilia stand seine damals acht Jahre alte Tochter Modell. Von dem jungen Mädchen schuf Giacometti im selben Jahr das gleichnamige Ölgemälde, welches sich heute im Museum Oskar Reinhart in Winterthur befindet. Durch die stilistischen und kompositorischen Ähnlichkeiten der beiden Porträts wird angenommen, dass die im Rahmen dieser Swiss Art Auktion angebotene Zeichnung der Entwurf des Ölgemäldes (Giovanni Giacometti WK. Nr. 1912.06) ist.
Giovanni Giacometti's drawing Ottilia depicts his daughter who was eight years old at the time. In the same year, Giacometti went on to make an oil painting of this young girl that is now in the Oskar Reinhart Museum in Winterthur. Because of the similarities in both style and composition between these two portraits, it is believed that this drawing that is being offered within the framework of the Swiss Art Auction is a sketched draft of the later oil painting (Giovanni Giacometti WK. Nr. 1912.06).
