Juillard - Lot 83

Juillard ANDRÉ JUILLARD LE CAHIER BLEU, Casterman Original illustration created in 1994-1996, published in Entracte by Daniel Maghen in 2006. Signed. Graphite and white pencil highlights on paper 29.7 × 21 cm (11.69 × 8.27 in.) Commenting on his drawing in Entracte, his pictorial biography published by Daniel Maghen in 2006, André Juillard wrote simply: "Louise stretching, but do we need to specify it? Supple, we might add! Louise's legs are still crossed; her left thigh, delicately bare, is firming up. Her breasts tense beneath her light dress. Her right arm rests delicately on her cervicals, while her left reaches out. His fist closes, concentrating all his energy. André Juillard masters his character's anatomy perfectly. It took hours of practice to achieve such mastery!
