Description
Français : Vue du château d'Esclimont

1886 ; dessin au crayon avec rehaut de blanc signé, daté et situé en bas à droite

28 x 44,5cm


Sosthène II de La Rochefoucauld(1825-1908), père de l’artiste, hérite du château d’Esclimont (Eure-et-Loir) et y effectue de nombreux travaux. C’est dans ce château que Yolande passe son enfance, et, comme en témoigne notre dessin, elle y passe une partie de son temps une fois devenue veuve et s’être consacrée au dessin et à la peinture.

L’artiste pose son chevalet à distance de la façade ouest du château Renaissance (les premières pierres du château d’Esclimont sont posées en 1543). L’éloignement permet de placer le bâtiment dans un écrin de verdure et d’offrir une vue du parc qui l’entoure. L’artiste joue sur la précision du dessin pour créer des espaces sombres et clairs et ainsi donner de la profondeur à sa représentation. Yolande Dalbert fait preuve d’un réel talent pour rendre la précision architecturale de l’imposant édifice. Quelques rehauts de blanc soulignent le relief du bâtiment.
English: View of Château d'Esclimont, pencil drawing with white highlight signed, dated and located lower right

Sosthène II de La Rochefoucauld (1825-1908), the artist's father, inherited the château d'Esclimont (Eure-et-Loir) and carried out extensive work on it. It was in this château that Yolande spent her childhood, and, as our drawing shows, she spent part of her time there once she became a widow and devoted herself to drawing and painting.

The artist places her easel at a distance from the west facade of the Renaissance château (the first stones of Château d'Esclimont were laid in 1543). The distance allows the building to be set in a green setting, offering a view of the surrounding park. The artist plays on the precision of the drawing to create light and dark spaces and thus give depth to her representation. Yolande Dalbert demonstrates a real talent for rendering the architectural precision of the imposing building. A few highlights of white underline the building's relief.
