    SCHENKER, Nicolas
    A Water Colour of Mary in the Style of Raphaël. Une aquarelle de Marie dans le style de Raphaël.

    Geneva / Geneve: N/A, 1820. Undated, but likely from 1818-1822, this fine watercolour of Mary in the style of Raphaël, although unsigned has a contemporary paper attribution / provenance lightly tipped to it. This states that it was painted by Schenker and came from a collection. It was given by Ferdinand Dupon (?) as a souvenir of his two little brothers. Edged in gilt, the painting is in very good condition, with just a couple of tiny marks to it. 110 by 80mm (4¼ by 3¼ inches).

    Schenker (1760-1848) was primarily an engraver, born in Geneva, worked Paris. Pupil of Saint-Ours and Macret, he studied intaglio printing. Worked for Bartolozzi in England and France. Director of the 'Ecole de…

    Schenker (1760-1848) was primarily an engraver, born in Geneva, worked Paris. Pupil of Saint-Ours and Macret, he studied intaglio printing. Worked for Bartolozzi in England and France. Director of the 'Ecole de gravure de Genève' (1817-1822). He engraved with Gâtine the illustrations for the series 'Le Bon Genre' published by La Mésangère. He was also clearly a skilled water colourist.

    . Non datée, mais probablement de 1818-1822, cette belle aquarelle de Marie dans le style de Raphaël, bien que non signée a une attribution/provenance sur papier de l'époque légèrement inclinée. Cela indique qu'il a été peint par Schenker et provient d'une collection. Il fut offert par Ferdinand Dupon (?) en souvenir de ses deux petits frères. Bordée de dorure, la peinture est en très bon état, avec seulement quelques petites marques. 110 par 80 mm.

    Schenker (1760-1848) était avant tout un graveur, né à Genève, a travaillé à Paris. Elève de Saint-Ours et de Macret, il étudie la taille-douce. A travaillé pour Bartolozzi en Angleterre et en France. Directeur de l'Ecole de gravure de Genève (1817-1822). Il grave avec Gâtine les illustrations de la série 'Le Bon Genre' éditée par La Mésangère. Il était aussi manifestement un aquarelliste de talent.

Cette affiche publicitaire originale, embellie à la main, a été créée pour promouvoir une collaboration industrielle. Elle représente une femme à la mode de l'époque, vêtue d'une robe rehaussée par endroits d'une couleur plus claire. Elle tient un parapluie ou une ombrelle. Nous n'avons rien trouvé d'autre de ce type en ligne ou dans les archives des ventes aux enchères. S'agit-il d'une pièce unique ? Dans un cadre, sous verre.

Beautifully coloured. Very slightly darkened sheet, with evidence of being hung / tipped in at some point. Fractional edgewear but overall an excellent example. 27.5cm x 36cm. Jules Platier is one of the least known French caricaturists, despite his evident skill. His wonderful compositions show a high level of artistic skill. His birth and death dates or places are unknown. He was particularly associated with the Parisian publishing house established by Charles Philippon and Gabriel Aubert.

    . Première édition. Une belle caricature coloriée à la main par le caricaturiste français peu connu Jules Platier. Une vieille dame s'adresse à un ancien sodier et lui dit qu'il y a des cerisiers près du corps de garde qu'il pourrait effrayer ! Peut-être une allusion à ses joues rouges ou à son uniforme ? Cette planche est la 15e de la série publiée par Aubert sous le titre ironique Les Jolis Petits Visages, comprenant 20 planches publiées entre 1839 et 1841.  Celles-ci sont également parues en noir dans La Nouvelle Lanterne Magique du même éditeur. Magnifiquement colorées. Feuillet très légèrement assombri, avec des traces d'accrochage ou de collage à un moment donné. Les bords sont légèrement usés mais il s'agit dans l'ensemble d'un excellent exemplaire. 27,5 cm x 36 cm. Jules Platier est l'un des caricaturistes français les moins connus, malgré son talent évident. Ses merveilleuses compositions témoignent d'un haut niveau d'habileté artistique. Les dates et lieux de sa naissance et de sa mort sont inconnus. Il était particulièrement associé à la maison d'édition parisienne fondée par Charles Philippon et Gabriel Aubert.
