Ragotin dans le coffre
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Ragotin in the Trunk," is a captivating black chalk drawing on blue laid paper by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry, created in the year 1737. This exquisite work of art hails from the Rococo era, a period marked by its ornate and decorative style. The drawing depicts two figures, a man and a woman, hiding in a trunk in a bedchamber. The man, dressed in a grey coat and waistcoat, clutches a hat in his hand, while the woman, wearing a flowing white gown, covers her face with her hands. The scene is reminiscent of the literary work "Le Roman Comique" by Paul Scarron, which tells the story of Ragotin, a man who disguises himself as a woman to gain access to a woman's bedchamber. The drawing, with its intricate details and subtle use of light and shadow, showcases Oudry's mastery of the medium. The blue background adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, while the figures are expertly rendered with the use of black and white chalk. The drawing is a testament to the artistic heritage of France and the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the culture and concepts of the time. This beautiful work of art is now a part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the Rococo era, or the literary works of the time. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to shape our world today.
