EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Study Drapery 1818" by Jean Baptiste Joseph Wicar. Created with black chalk and heightened white, this squared drawing on beige paper measures 8 1/2 x 6 9/16 inches (216 x 167 cm). Wicar, a French artist born in Lille in 1762 and later residing in Rome, demonstrates his meticulous attention to detail through careful shading and subtle white highlights. In this study of drapery, Wicar masterfully conveys the intricate folds of toga fabric as it is gathered, tucked, and draped on a model. The squaring of the sheet indicates that this drawing was done as preparation for a painting specifically featuring the figure of Augustus at its center. The scene depicts Virgil reading from his epic poem Aeneid while Livia looks on attentively. Commissioned by Count Giovanni Battista Sommariva (1760–1826) for his villa on Lake Como, this remarkable piece remains an enduring testament to Wicar's artistic prowess. With reserved blank areas strategically placed throughout the composition, he achieves a harmonious balance between light and shadow. The Liszt Collection presents this stunning Artokoloro print which allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every delicate stroke made by Wicar over two centuries ago. This print serves as both a visual delight and an homage to one of France's most talented artists.
