"Iv Rene-marie Castaing : "saint Ursula""
IV René-Marie Castaing (1896-1943): "Sainte Ursula", charcoal and white chalk on kraft paper 61 X 42 cm, presented under neutral pH mat 80 X 60 cm. Japanese lined, upper right corner restored, water stain at the top left. First Grand Prix de Rome 1924, the immense artist excelled particularly in works on paper: charcoals, pastels or gouaches. If I never met him for obvious reasons of dates, his birthplace was just opposite the Galerie de Pau! With a sensitivity that allowed him to capture the soul of his models, he gives us here a study of Saint Ursula for the Church of Notre-Dame-du-Bout-du-Pont in Pau. We permanently present works by this artist and outside of this collection, you can also see other studies. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or telephone.
