Note

Nu féminin au fusain, bras levés, signé et daté 1928

Le corps occupe toute la feuille, cadré si serré que le visage disparaît derrière les bras levés. Le fusain pose des noirs veloutés dans les creux, puis s'estompe jusqu'au ton chamois du papier, qui devient la lumière même sur l'épaule, le sein, la courbe de la hanche. Le modelé est ample, presque sculpté. En haut à droite, en petites capitales, se lisent un nom et la date 1928. La feuille est présentée dans un cadre à baguette argentée, finement striée.

La galerie attribue le dessin à Jean van Noten et le dit signé et daté. Un artiste belge de ce nom, né dans la région de Bruxelles en 1903 et mort en 1982, est répertorié comme artiste et dessinateur de timbres-poste, avec des œuvres dans des collections publiques belges. Rien n'établit encore qu'il s'agisse de la même main. Si c'était le cas, la feuille aurait été tracée à vingt-cinq ans, au cœur de l'entre-deux-guerres, et le goût Art déco que retient la galerie s'accorderait à cette date.

Read in English

The body fills the whole sheet, cropped so tightly that the face vanishes behind the raised arms. Charcoal lays velvety blacks in the hollows, then softens into the chamois tone of the paper, which becomes the light itself on the shoulder, the breast, the curve of the hip. The modelling is broad, almost sculpted. At the upper right, in small capitals, a name and the date 1928 can be read. The sheet is shown in a finely striated silvered frame.

The gallery attributes the drawing to Jean van Noten and describes it as signed and dated. A Belgian artist of that name, born near Brussels in 1903 and died in 1982, is recorded as an artist and designer of postage stamps, with works in Belgian public collections. Nothing yet shows that this is the same hand. If it were, the sheet would have been drawn at twenty-five, in the heart of the interwar years, and the Art Deco taste the gallery assigns to it would sit well with that date.
