Jean-Baptiste PERRONNEAU (Paris 1715 – Amsterdam 1783) « Portrait de dame à la robe bleue en buste vue de face et portant un fichu de dentelle » Pastel sur papier marouflé sur toile (quelques usures et mouillures) Signé en haut à droite et daté 1744. 64 x 54,5 cm Beau cadre en bois sculpté et doré à décor de coquilles dans les écoinçons, queues de cochons et rinceaux de feuillage, d’époque Louis XV Formé auprès de Natoire, de Laurent Cars puis de Drouais, Perronneau fut agréé à l’Académie Royale en 1746, et reçu huit ans plus tard. Il s’illustra particulièrement dans l’art du pastel, maniant les couleurs et les matières avec raffinement, figurant des modèles aux poses souvent semblables, mais aux expressions naturelles et spontanées. Il a représenté ici à mi-corps une femme en corsage bleu, garni de soie jaune sur le devant, et agrémenté de nœuds de même couleur. L’encolure et les manches sont ornées de dentelles. Les mains croisées, la femme esquisse un léger sourire. Ses cheveux poudrés sont coiffés d’un bonnet de dentelle. On peut confronter notre œuvre aux pastels de Perronneau conservés au Musée des Beaux-arts d’Orléans, comme le Portrait d’Anne-Catherine Chevotet. Coiffée d’un bonnet similaire, elle arbore la même expression contenue ; le chatoiement de son corsage rappelle celui de notre œuvre. Nous remercions Madame Dominique d’Arnoult, spécialiste de l’artiste, de nous avoir confirmé l’authenticité de notre œuvre (après examen de visu) qui sera intégrée dans le catalogue raisonné en préparation.
