Cornelis Dusart

Cornelis Dusart (1660 - Haarlem - 1704) - Lounging man smoking a pipe. Black and yellowish-brown chalk with red chalk, partly heightened with white, on blue laid paper with watermark "Nebenmarke Initialen LO". 21.5 x 18.3 cm. With a framing line in brown pen. Dusart was influenced by his teacher Adriaen van Ostade and later by Jan Steen, whose more comedic style he adopted. Dusart probably inherited Ostade's entire workshop estate, completed the stored paintings and added artistic washes to some of his drawings to make them more attractive for sale. Dusart's figure drawings, including the present study of a resting, puffing man on blue-ground paper "aux deux crayons", can be regarded as works of art in their own right. According to a notebook by Dusart, these partly pictorial and often colored drawings were sold separately to collectors (see Peter Schatborn: Dutch Figure Drawings from the seventeenth century, exhib. cat. Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, and Washington, National Gallery of Art, 1981-82, pp. 110-112). With white laid paper strips along the margins verso. - Barely noticeable brown stains. Verso in upper corners with adhesive residue from former mounting, this faintly showing through to recto. In good condition. Literature: Jeroen Giltaij, exhib. cat.
