Louis-Pierre HENRIQUEL-DUPONT Portrait signé de Victor Schoelcher

Louis-Pierre HENRIQUEL-DUPONT

(Victor SCHOELCHER)

Portrait signé de Victor Schoelcher

1832, 25,5x33cm, une feuille.


Pencil portrait of Victor Schoelcher by Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, signed and dated 1832.
Uniformly browned, some foxing. A small vellum label inscribed with the name of Victor Schoelcher pasted on the verso, with a bibliographer's note in pencil also on the verso.
A precious unrecorded early portrait of the abolitionist Victor Schoelcher, at the age of 28.
This portrait was exhibited at the 1833 Paris Salon: ‘M. Victor Schoelcher [...] whose charming portrait, drawn by M. Henriquel-Dupont, can be seen just beside the Salon's entrance. Charming indeed, broad and full of character' (Augustin Jal, Salon de 1833, les causeries du Louvre, p.159).
 
Schoelcher had begun his fight against the slave trade two years earlier with an article in the Revue de Paris. He also took an interest in the fine arts, writing a review of the 'Salon de peinture' in 1835 in the same newspaper. This drawing is the work of Henriquel-Dupont, a distinguished pupil of the painter Pierre-Narcisse Guérin. Renowned as a master engraver, he reproduced the works of his contemporaries, particularly Ingres whose style is distinctly reflected in this portrait.
Schoelcher and Henriquel-Dupont both sat on the jury of the 1879 Salon in the engraving section.
Exceptionally executed pencil drawing, one of Henriquel-Dupont's "delightful portraits in graphite" (Charles Lenormant).
