Study of a Soldier
Victor-François-Eloi Biennourry French
Not on view
In this study for a Roman soldier, the artist focuses attention on the subtle modeling of the musculature of the arm while also exploring the chromatic effects of the ocher and blue pastels with red chalk. Biennourry possibly used the grid to reposition his model and produce studies of the same scale (see 1991.111) as he worked to determine the final costume and posture for this figure who features in his mural decorations in the Church of Saint-Séverin.
