A mastiff that belonged to Géricault, he is lying with half his body outside his stone kennel. Watercolor. To Colonel O. Bro de Comères. H. 0.155; L. 0.155". NOTE: This watercolor by Théodore Géricault depicts his dog, lying in a niche, its head protruding outwards. The dog, of indeterminate breed, is called Galaor, probably named in derision of the Comte d'Artois (Charles X), who called himself by this name in his youth (Bazin, p.73). Indeed, this drawing dates from the period when the artist, a former musketeer to the king, became involved in the opposition. Our sheet remained in the Bro de Comères family, close friends of the painter, for almost a hundred years, before passing into the collection of the Duke of Treviso, and finally into a private collection. It can be compared with a sketch of the same animal in a niche, preserved at the Art Institute of Chicago, part of a notebook from the 1818-1819 period. Géricault's watercolor has been described by : Hubert DUCHEMIN, 8, rue de Louvois, 75002 PARIS +33(0)1.42.60.83.01, [email protected]
