19th century · Drawing

Dimensions 34 × 30 cm

Collection: Doria Collection

This portrait of Count Armand Doria was probably made in the first few years after he met Cals for the first time in 1859. From that moment until the artist''s death in 1880, he became one of Cals most ardent supporter, often hosting him in the castle of Orrouy and buying many of his paintings. The grid indicates that it is likely a preparatory drawing for a larger portrait. Private collection. Original dimensions : 22.5 x 20 cms Ce portrait du Comte Armand Doria a sans doute été tracé dans les quelques années qui ont suivi sa rencontre avec Cals en 1859. Armand Doria fut, à partir de cette date et jusqu'à la mort de l'artiste en 1880, le principal mécène de Cals qu'il accueillit au château d'Orrouy et auquel il acheta de nombreuses peintures. La mise au carreau signale qu'il s'agit d'un dessin préparatoire, vraisemblablement pour un portrait à l'huile de plus grande taille. Collection particulière. Dimensions originales : 22.5 x 20 cms
