Trois chatons à l'aquarelle et gouache, attribués à Eugène Louis Lambert

Trois chatons tigrés se serrent les uns contre les autres au bord d'un plan clair, sur un fond sombre de verts et de bruns brossé en taches libres. Celui de gauche, poitrail blanc, fixe le spectateur de ses yeux ambrés ; les deux autres, paupières mi-closes, s'abandonnent à la somnolence. Les pelages sont rendus par touches légères, où la transparence de l'aquarelle se mêle à des rehauts plus couvrants. Une signature se lit en bas à droite : L. Eug Lambert. La feuille est présentée sous un passe-partout saumon clair, bordé d'un filet doré, dans un cadre doré à gorge verte.

Louis-Eugène Lambert naît à Paris en 1825 et y meurt en 1900. Élève de Delacroix et de Paul Delaroche, il débute au Salon de 1847, puis vit quatorze ans à Nohant auprès de George Sand. Le succès de Chat et perroquet, au Salon de 1857, décide de sa carrière : on l'appellera Lambert des chats, et même Raphaël des chats. Membre de la Société d'aquarellistes français de 1879 à 1896, il est représenté par des aquarelles de chats dans des collections publiques. La galerie donne l'œuvre à Eugène Louis Lambert, forme inversée du nom, aux mêmes dates.

Three tabby kittens huddle together at the edge of a pale ledge, against a dark ground of greens and browns brushed in loose patches. The one on the left, white-chested, meets the viewer with amber eyes; the other two, lids half closed, give in to drowsiness. The fur is rendered in light touches, where the transparency of watercolour mingles with more opaque highlights. A signature can be read at lower right: L. Eug Lambert. The sheet is presented under a pale salmon mount edged with a gilt fillet, in a gilt frame with a green scotia.

Louis-Eugène Lambert was born in Paris in 1825 and died there in 1900. A pupil of Delacroix and Paul Delaroche, he made his debut at the Salon of 1847, then spent fourteen years at Nohant with George Sand. The success of Chat et perroquet at the Salon of 1857 decided his career: he became Lambert des chats, even the Raphaël des chats. A member of the Société d'aquarellistes français from 1879 to 1896, he is represented by cat watercolours in public collections. The gallery gives the work to Eugène Louis Lambert, an inverted form of the name, with the same dates.
