DELARUE le Jeune, Louis Felix
The praise of Venus
1750-1765
Pen and brown ink, brown wash, traces of graphite, on wove paper, mounted on cardboard, 121 x 160 mm. Unsigned (tiny pouncing hole at upper left corner). Although mainly known as a sculptor, the French artists Louis Felix De la Rue was a prolific draftsman. This sheet shows all the trademarks of his early classicist corpus of drawings, such the intelligent use of wash to create depth and light effects, as well as the typical face types with circular eyes and c-shaped noses
