Paul DELAROCHE (1797–1856) - Lot 83

Paul DELAROCHE (1797–1856) Portrait of the Painter Eugène Lami Pastel and black pencil, stump, and red chalk on paper, signed and inscribed in the lower right, dated April 1834 in the lower left 24 x 19 cm (Slightly sun-faded, small spots) Delaroche and Lami were close friends and lived together in their youth, in 1827, in a new house on Rue des Marais-Saint-Germain, now known as Rue Visconti. Their neighbor was Balzac, who had set up his famous printing press there in 1826, though he was forced to abandon it two years later. Delaroche and Lami lived through the July Days of 1830 together (see P.A. Lemoisne, *Eugène Lami*, Paris, 1912, ed. Goupil, Manzi, and Joyant, successors). Here he is depicted more as a chic dandy than as a disheveled romantic, with his small mustache, much like Delacroix at the same time during his trip to Morocco.At the time, Lami was the drawing instructor to the Princes of Orléans Provenance: - Former collection of Ernest L’ami de Nolan - Galerie La Nouvelle Athènes, Paris Exhibition: - Exhibition of works by Paul Delaroche, Paris, Palais des Beaux-Arts, 1857
