AMICA Contributor: Dallas Museum of Art Owner Location: Dallas, Texas, USA ID Number: 1985.R.23 Credit Line: Dallas Museum of Art, The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection Rights: http://www.DallasMuseumofArt.org Context: Although the authenticity of this drawing has never been questioned, there is considerable dispute about the identity of the man in both this watercolor and the oil painting to which it has a direct relationship. The painting, now in the Musée Courbet in the painter's hometown of Ornans, has been catalogued as a portrait of Courbet's maternal grandfather, M Oudot, and dated to 1843 on the basis of its style (Fernier 1977, no. 35). Robert Fernier noted that the painting was itself the basis for the figure on the far left of Courbet's largest composition, 'The Burial at Ornans' (Musée d'Orsay, Paris), of 1849. Fernier had no knowledge of the Reves drawing, which represents the artist's father, Régis Courbet, according to one of its owners, Courbet's great-nephew Paul Reverdy.Simply on the basis of physiognomy, Reverdy's identification seems correct. Yet, when one accepts the painting and the drawing as portraits of the artist's father, issues of chronology come into question. Fernier dates another portrait of Régis Courbet to 1844 (no. 50), when the painter was twenty-five and his father was forty-six, but this date seems too late in view of the tightness of the young painter's style. More believable would be a date of 1840-1842, which would place the Reves watercolor in the late 1840s, when his father was about fifty years old.'Impressionist Paintings Drawings and Sculpture from the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection,' page 21 AMICA ID: DMA_.1985.R.23 AMICA Library Year: 2003 Media Metadata Rights: AMICA PUBLIC RIGHTS: a) Access to the materials is granted for personal and non-commercial use. b) A full educational license for non-commercial use is available from Cartography Associates at www.davidrumsey.com/amica/institution_subscribe.html c) Licensed users may continue their examination of additional materials provided by Cartography Associates, and d) commercial rights are available from the rights holder.
