Sanguine on paper
360 x 292 mm.
signed and dated lower right Trinquesse // cc May 17, 1778
This drawing by Louis-Roland Trinquesse exists in three versions, presumably all autographed. In addition to this drawing, an unsigned version is preserved in the Musée d'Ixelles, and another, unsigned and undated but annotated, was sold in 1932, the latter presenting the model as Marianne Franmery. Jean Cailleux collected a group of some twenty drawings of this young woman drawn by the artist in the 1770s in an article devoted to Trinquesse's drawings ("The Drawings of Louis Roland Trinquesse", The Burlington Magazine, Vol. CXVI, No. 851, February 1974, pp.i-xi). She is best known for having been the artist's favorite model. Tristan Fourmy, in his recent article on the drawings of Louis Roland Trinquesse (Tristan Fourmy, "Drawing outside the Académie: Trinquesse's Graphic Oeuvre Rediscovered", Master Drawings, Vol. 64, 1, Spring 2026, pp. 87-106) explains that drawings of female figures are the most famous part of the artist's graphic oeuvre. He produced over seventy sheets between 1771 and 1786, which were very popular with private collectors.
This drawing is included in the catalog raisonné of the artist's works currently being compiled by Tristan Fourmy.
