Drawings by Eug\u00e8ne Carri\u00e8re are rare on the market. They reveal an intimate aspect of his work along with his talent for creating powerful, whilst extremely simplified compositions, focused on the female silhouette and feminine presence.<\/p>\n
Carri\u00e8re is well known for his representations of Maternit\u00e9<\/em> and was greatly inspired by his wife and family. Madame Carri\u00e8re was often portrayed, holding, embracing or admiring her new-borns and young children. \u00a0In his quintessential monochrome paintings, Carri\u00e8re unfailingly captures the energy and emotion of these highly affective scenes. This charcoal drawing illustrates the first step of Carri\u00e8re\u2019s creative process and comes directly from the artist\u2019s family, in whose possession it has remained until now.<\/p>\n
