Alexandre IACOVLEFF (1887-1938) Ouled-Gopo (Fort-Lamy) Arab woman Pastel on paper pasted on cardboard. Signed in Latin, localized and titled lower right AIacovleff/ Fort Lamy/ Femme arabe/ Ouled Gopo. On verso, handwritten label in black ink Mr Raynaud/ 52 av de Saxe/ 125 bis. 65.8 x 49.7 cm During the Croisière Noire, the shores of Lake Chad became impassable due to heavy flooding. The explorers circumnavigated the great lake to the capital Fort-Lamy, where the expedition stopped for a few days to overhaul the autochenilles and celebrate Christmas. During this stopover, Alexandre Iacovleff devotes no fewer than twelve portraits to the inhabitants of Fort-Lamy. The women have a particular grace, "with their high waists, long muscles, languid gait and almond-shaped eyes" (G.M. Haardt, L. Audouin-Dubreuil, La Croisière Noire, Editions Plon, 1927). Here, the large blue loincloth, skilfully tied over the shoulder, emphasizes the elegance and allure of this beautiful Ouled-Gopo woman with her fine face. This magnificent portrait was presented as number 125 (as evidenced by the number on the reverse of the work) under the name Femme arabe Ouled-Gopo (Fort-Lamy) in the catalog for the exhibition Alexandre Iacovleff, Peintre attaché à l'expédition Citroën Centre Afrique, Dessins et Peintures from May 7 to 23, 1926, at Jean Charpentier's hotel. A certificate of authenticity from Mme Caroline Haardt de La Baume, expert in the work of Alexandre Iacovleff, will be given to the buyer. This lot will be included in the Alexandre Iacovleff catalog raisonné currently in preparation.
