"The Businesses Of Love, 18th Century Ink Drawing"
Lovely mid-eighteenth century drawing, representing the love luminance of a young girl, who defends herself from her haste. The drawing is made in ferrogallic ink, enhanced with light touches of watercolor and white gouache. the work is in the gallant spirit, but with an incipient touch of neoclassicism which would place it in the second half of the century. very pretty passe-partout made with an eli lavis line puller. An ND monogram is present in the middle at the bottom of the sheet. In the stream traces of an old attribution to Fragonard (the 19th century was often very generous...). The whole is perfectly in the erotic spirit of the century, the nymph, all nipples out...
