EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing parody sketch, titled "Oh my god! how will you be able to do my portrait?" is a humorous take on the work of French painter Abel Faivre, circa 1901. In the original drawing, Faivre is depicted with his back turned to the viewer, intently focusing on a large female model as he begins to sketch her portrait. However, in this playful rendition, the artist finds himself in a rather unfortunate predicament. With a shocked expression on his face and a hand reaching out to cover his wounds, Faivre has been brutally stabbed in the back, his liver spilling out of his guts, and both of his legs cut off. The large female model, seemingly unfazed by the scene before her, exclaims in disbelief, "Oh my god!" This parody sketch, which is part of the "March of the Women Collection" from Mary Evans Prints Online, adds an unexpected twist to the traditional artist-model dynamic. The image is reminiscent of the satirical style of Adolphe Léon Willette, a contemporary of Abel Faivre who was known for his caricatures and humorous illustrations. The contrast between the serious and the absurd in this parody highlights the artist's ability to find humor in even the most unexpected situations, making it a fascinating addition to any art history collection.
