Pierre De Belay (1890-1947) Portrait Of President Barnaud At The Stavisky Trial

Rare drawing by Pierre de Belay, better known for his scenes of daily life in Brittany where he is from and which constitute the bulk of his inspiration and which this time gives us a new aspect of his work, that of observer of the world judicial. Here, he did not represent the magistrate of any court case but the highest magistrate of a resounding trial, the trial of Alexander Stavisky. This drawing in graphite, charcoal and grease pencil, probably made on the spot, retains its original assembly even if its framing has since given way to a sober rod of light wood. Titled, dated November 1935 and signed lower right. Dimensions: 25.2 cm x 29.5 cm the drawing at sight and 38 x 43 cm with the frame. The works of Pierre de Belay are preserved in many French and foreign museums. The artist is listed at Bénézit. Many other objects to discover in my stand at the antique fairs in which I participate.
