Pyramid-shaped tomb in the Roman countryside
1765
Black chalk on paper
873-2-41
Bequeathed by Jean Marie de Silguy in 1864
H. 34.5 – L. 45 cm
Attributed to Hubert Robert, as the signature seemed to indicate, it was examined by Sarah Catala, author of a thesis on the artist, who gave it to Jean-Robert Ango.
Indeed, this sheet is characteristic of Ango's graphics because of the habit he had to go through several times on the lines of constructions of the main elements of his subject.
On the other hand, Ango signs H. Roberty: H for Hannibal, his nickname and Roberty for the Robert of his first name Jean-Robert, which shows a certain complicity with Hubert Robert.
The drawing has also been made after the Landscape at the Pyramid of Robert, a counter-test is kept in the library Besançon.
