JEAN-LOUIS-ANDRÉ-THÉODORE GERICAULT, AN HORSE REARING UP, HELD BACK BY TWO MEN, GRAPHITE

This graphite study should be seen in the context of a theme dear to Gericault: The Race of the Riderless Horses, which occupied the artist throughout 1817, the year he spent in Italy. Several painted sketches and pen-and-ink or graphite sketches were produced that depict this Roman tradition, which takes place on the Roman Corso during Carnival, when the horses run the distance between the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza del Palazzo di Venezia.

Of the painted sketches, the most complete, and the closest to the present drawing, is in the Musée du Louvre (inv. RF 2042; see G. Bazin, Théodore Géricault. Étude critique, documents et catalogue raisonné , IV, Le voyage en Italien, Paris, 1990, no. 1368; P. Grunchec, Tout l'œuvre peint de Gericault, Paris, 1991, no. 115); another oil sketch on paper in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which is much more energetic, also shows similarities (inv. 85.PA.406; Bazin, op. cit., no. 1358; Grunchec, op. cit., no. 114).

A number of drawings have been referenced that are very similar to the present sheet in terms of composition and technique used, including one of the most important, which depicts all the figures, held at the Fogg Art Museums in Cambridge MA (W. Whitney, Gericault in Italy, London, 1997, p. 138, fig. 176) and a second (location unknown), which focuses on the rider holding his horse in exactly the same position as the present drawing (Bazin, op. cit., no. 1351). The use of graphite, the fine hatching to mark the shadows and the position of the horse and rider are identical to the present drawing.

A letter from Lorenz Eitner dated 16 October 2003 confirming the attribution to Gericault will be given to the successful bidder.
We are grateful to Philippe Grunchec for confirming the attribution after visual examination.
