EDITORS COMMENTS
This figure study by Claude-Joseph Vernet, entitled "Figure Studies, Including One Man Sleeping on the Ground and Two Men Sawing," is an exquisite example of 18th century art. The antique print, created in black and white, showcases the artist's mastery of the pen and black ink with gray wash on laid paper technique. The scene is set in a rural location, where three men are engaged in different activities. In the foreground, a man lies asleep on the ground, his body relaxed and at peace. Behind him, two other men are hard at work, one of them sawing a tree trunk with a large, sharp blade, while the other holds the other end of the chain that binds the log. The men's faces are etched with concentration and determination, a testament to their strength and endurance. The drawing is a fascinating depiction of the Enlightenment era, where the focus on reason, individualism, and progress is reflected in the men's actions. This evocative work of art, with its monochrome palette and intricate details, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the Romantic era and its emphasis on the human condition. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic heritage of France and the world.
