The Notary - A Study for 'The Marriage Contract', 1761
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, an eminent French painter from the 18th century. This black chalk drawing with stumping, highlighted by red and white chalk on tan laid paper, exudes a sense of timeless elegance. In this masterpiece, we see a profile portrait of a distinguished man seated in deep contemplation. The notary's occupation is evident through his poised demeanor and the presence of legal documents before him. With meticulous attention to detail, Greuze captures every nuance of the subject's expression - from furrowed brows to pursed lips - revealing the weighty responsibility he carries as a guardian of contracts and unions. The artist's masterful use of color adds depth and dimension to this study. The warm tones against the neutral background create an intimate atmosphere that draws viewers into the scene. Through his skilled technique, Greuze breathes life into each stroke, infusing emotion and character into every line. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork stands as a testament to Greuze's enduring legacy in European art history. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and an insightful glimpse into 18th-century France. As we gaze upon "The Notary", we are transported back in time to witness not only one man's profession but also his inner thoughts and struggles. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Jean-Baptiste Greuze's
