Figures is an original drawing with gray tip and watercolor on paper, realized by Georges Antoine Rochegrosse . The state of preservation of the artwork is very good. Unsigned, but there is a Signature on the back of the drawing. Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (1859 - 1938, France): French painter and illustrator, was born in Versailles on August 2, 1859. He prepared to enter the world of art by studying with the orientalist painter Alfred Dehodencq, at the Académie Julian and by attending the studios of the portraitist Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger, the inventor of the style called Neo-Greek. In 1880 and 1881, after studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Rochegrosse tried unsuccessfully to obtain the Prix de Rome which would allow him to continue his studies in Rome, but when he exhibited at the Salon of 1882, he was awarded for the large painting ''Vitellius dragged by the people through the streets of Rome'', thus obtaining a scholarship to travel. At the beginning of his pictorial career, he devoted himself mainly to historical genre painting in a naturalistic style with very particular details of great emotional impact, which earned him the title of Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1892. Among his most famous works, preserved in various European museums and collections, which exemplify his strong and lively style, are to be remembered: Andromaque (1882-3; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen), Jacquerie (1885), Le mort de Babylone (1891), La death of the Emperor Geta (1899, Musée de Picardie, Amiens), The Barbarian Ambassadors to the court of Justinian (1907). At the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the beautiful Le Chevalier aux Fleurs (The Knight of Flowers) painted in 1894 and made in a style that was not usual is preserved. Georges Antoine Rochegrosse, died in Algiers in 1938. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
