Description

Charles-Joseph Natoire (French, 1700–1777) Charles-Joseph Natoire, who was often praised for his sensual depiction of the female nude, skillfully evoked the qualities of flesh in the full lips, long neck, rounded shoulder, and smooth, rosy cheeks of this head study. Natoire used meticulous layers of chalk and pastel for his subject's complexion, and long, loose chalk strokes for her hair. He made this drawing as a study for the Entry of Marc Antony into Ephesus , the first of three designs he created for a tapestry series to be woven at the Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory. In the completed design, this figure dances in the foreground, holding a tambourine-like musical instrument in her outstretched arms. Her upward gaze is directed to Marc Antony, who stands behind her, high on his chariot. Natoire's designs failed to please the Marquis de Marigny, Louis XV's director-general of the Bâtiments du Roi , and only one tapestry from the series was ever produced.
