STEPHEN ONGPIN FINE ART Old Master, 19th Century and Modern Drawings

JEAN-BAPTISTE GREUZE (1725-1805) The First Harvest of the Wheat Black chalk, brush and black and grey ink and grey wash on laid paper.

476 x 593 mm. (18¾ x 23³⁄8 in.)

This very large and previously unknown drawing is an important addition to Greuze’s late oeuvre, and is one of the last complete compositional drawings that he produced. It also appears to be the only extant record of one of the artist’s most significant works as a history painter. The composition serves as a pendant to Greuze’s painting of A Farmer Handing Over the Plow to his Son in the Presence of his Family, also known as The First Furrow, exhibited at the Salon of 1801 and today in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. This drawing, which does not seem to have been translated into a finished painting, depicts the family of the farmer showing its gratitude for the son’s hard work, while at the right background young women serve bread baked from the wheat he has harvested. Although no related canvas is known, the size and finish of the drawing suggest that the artist had fully developed the composition.
