Description

A plaster portrait bust of a man Life-sized polychrome bust of a man facing slightly towards the left in a powdered wig, open shirt and “robe de chambre”. On a round, moulded plinth painted to resemble marble. With fine original polychromy. A breakage to the bow, some vertical cracks to the neck. H 62.5, W c. 35.5, cm. Attributed to Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain, mid-18th C. This bust is traditionally thought to be a self-portrait. Little is known about the life of the artist Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain who lived in France from 1710 to 1795. His brother in law, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714 - 1785), was much more well-known. Some of his sculptures are housed in the palace gardens of Sanssouci, gifted to Prussia by Louis XV. We know what Allegrain looked like from the portrait of him painted by Joseph Duplessis in around 1775 in the Louvre (inv. no. 4305). However, the portrait shows him as a considerably older man. It is thus difficult to determine with certainty whether this bust, which can be dated quite some time earlier, to around the mid-18th century, truly depicts the artist as a young man. Provenance Belgian private collection. Porträtbüste eines Mannes Gips, farbig gefasst. Lebensgroßes Bildnis. Leicht nach links gewandter Kopf mit gepuderter Zopfperücke, offenem Hemd und fellbesetzter "robe de chambre". Profiliertes Rundpostament in Marmorfarben. Feine originale Farbfassung. Ausbruch an der Schleife, Vertikalrisse am Halsausschnitt. H 62,5, B ca. 35,5, cm. Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain, zugeschrieben, Mitte 18. Jh. Die Zuschreibung der Büste als Selbstporträt Allegrains ist traditionell. Wir wissen wenig über den Künstler, Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain, der von 1710 bis 1795 in Frankreich gelebt hat. Sein Schwager, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714 - 1785), war wesentlich bekannter. Von ihm gibt es auch, durch ein Geschenk Ludwigs XV., Skulpturen im Park von Saussouci. Das Aussehen von Allegrain ist uns überliefert durch sein um 1775 datiertes Porträt von Joseph Duplessis in der Sammlung des Louvre (Inv. Nr. 4305). Allerdings zeigt dieses Bildnis einen erheblich älteren Mann. Man kann also nur vermuten, dass es sich hier um eine deutlich früher zu datierende Wiedergabe seiner Gesichtszüge handelt, inetwa aus der Zeit um die Jahrhundertmitte. Provenienz Belgische Privatsammlung.
