Triptyque à l'huile, scènes de jeux sous les arbres sur fond ocre

Trois hauts panneaux, sertis chacun d'un cadre noir étroit, déroulent la même partition sur un fond ocre doré parcouru de craquelures. Sous des arbres aux frondaisons bleu-vert, des personnages en costume d'Asie jouent : l'un porte un compagnon sur son dos, une femme en robe mauve fait danser un jouet au bout d'un fil, un homme en bleu saute par-dessus une corde que tient une femme en jaune. Plus bas, chaque panneau répète une coquille bleue entre deux volutes dorées et une guirlande de roses. La lumière chaude du fond unifie l'ensemble.

Le triptyque, œuvre divisée en trois sections, naît dans l'art chrétien ancien et devient, dès le Moyen Âge, le format ordinaire du retable, avant que les artistes modernes ne s'en emparent hors de toute église, Francis Bacon parmi eux. Ici, le format sert un décor profane, où la symétrie des guirlandes répond à la liberté des scènes. Le marchand range l'ensemble sous l'Art d'Asie et le date du XXe siècle, sans nommer d'artiste, de pays ni d'atelier ; l'origine asiatique de ces toiles n'a pu être vérifiée.

Three tall panels, each set in a narrow black frame, play out the same score on an ochre-gold ground crossed with craquelure. Beneath trees with blue-green foliage, figures in Asian dress are at play: one carries a companion on his back, a woman in a mauve robe spins a toy on a string, a man in blue leaps over a rope held by a woman in yellow. Lower down, each panel repeats a blue shell between two gilt scrolls above a garland of roses. The warm light of the ground binds the whole together.

The triptych, a work divided into three sections, was born in early Christian art and became, from the Middle Ages, the usual format of the altarpiece, before modern artists took it up far from any church, Francis Bacon among them. Here the format serves a secular decoration, in which the symmetry of the garlands answers the freedom of the scenes. The dealer files the set under Art of Asia and dates it to the twentieth century, naming no artist, country or workshop; the Asian origin of these canvases could not be verified.
