A Valley in the Savoie (Paysage Montagneux)
Brown ink, and touches of pencil, ca.1834, 94 x 159 mm., Schulman 166 (illustrated). Provenance: artist's estate (Lugt 2436).
Finished, extensive landscape drawing in brown ink with touches of pencil on wove paper, with the estate stamp redrawn. Michel Schulman (Théodore Rousseau : Catalogue-Raisonné de l'Oeuvre Graphique) says it probably represents the Valley of the Jura in the foothills of the Alps. It is certainly around that area. Rousseau spent 6 months in the nearby Savoie region in 1834. Schulman accepts the drawing as perfectly authentic but questions the stamp, which has been partially redrawn.
