I am selling this beautiful original drawing on canson paper signed jean villette (1913-2005), artist and historian from chartres, specialist in chartres and its cathedral, to which he devoted numerous works. This black chalk drawing represents vézelay, above the cure valley (yonne), as evidenced by the handwritten mention of the artist on the reverse. The artist depicts with a lively and confident stroke the village perched on its hill, seen from a meadow. We observe a beautiful mastery of shadow and light, with deep nuances in the dark areas, characteristic of black stone. On the back, a yellow sticker inscribed “25” testifies to the probable exhibition of this drawing during the artist's lifetime: this drawing was acquired as a lot during an auction in chartres in september 2023 during the dispersal of the jean villette collection; the twenty other drawings, charcoals or lithographs which made up the lot also have stickers on the back, or even annotations in the artist's hand. I kept some of them, i'm getting rid of the others because I don't have enough walls to hang them all! Very good condition: no tears or defects to report. The photographs are an integral part of the description: look at them carefully! I am selling a slight variation of this landscape (see my other listings). Sheet format: h. 32.3 X l. 44.5 cm. Format of the drawing: h. 22 X l. 34 cm. Possibility of making a price if purchasing several drawings (see my other announcements) and of grouping the shipment. The drawing is sold without a frame. 📍 the object is located in gif-sur-yvette (91 - northwest essonne). 👐 possibility (and preference) of hand delivery in gif, paris or romilly-sur-aigre (28 - eure-et-loir) and surrounding areas. Contact me if delivered in person to define the location. Contact me before purchasing, thank you. 📷 do not hesitate to ask for additional information.
