EDITORS COMMENTS
The Scene with the Tall Baguenodière, 1726/1727" is a captivating black chalk drawing by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry. This masterpiece, partially faded to brown on blue laid paper, dates back to the 18th century, a time known as the Rococo era. The drawing depicts a lively and whimsical scene from the literary work "Le Roman Comique" by Paul Scarron. In the center of the composition, we find a tall Baguenodière, a character from the play, dressed in a colorful costume with a large hat adorned with feathers. He is shown in the midst of a performance, engaging with a group of men and women, who seem to be in high spirits. The figures are depicted with great attention to detail, from their expressive faces to the intricate patterns of their clothing. The Tall Baguenodière, with his exaggerated stature and larger-than-life personality, serves as the focal point of the drawing. His presence brings a sense of joy and merriment, transporting us to a time when such performances were a cherished part of French culture. This drawing is a testament to the rich heritage of the arts and the enduring influence of literature on visual art. Originally part of the Houdonrie of Paris collection, "The Scene with the Tall Baguenodière" is now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This rare and precious work of art continues to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the past and the world of 18th-century French art and literature.
