- Lot Description
Attributed to Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (French, 1758-1823), "Joseph et la Famme du Putaphar", oil on canvas, 18th century CE. "P.P. Prudhon" is handwritten on the upper stretcher. A wonderful allegorical oil painting on canvas by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon depicting a dramatic encounter between Joseph and Potiphar's wife, with Joseph turning away, rejecting Potiphar's advances, as she attempts to embrace him. Potiphar's wife is dressed in a diaphamous garment that seductively reveals much of her body. Prud'hon's romantic painting style lends a wonderful sense of dramatic motion as well as emotion to the piece. Size: 10.625" L x 8.625" W (27 cm x 21.9 cm)
The catalogue raisonne describes the development of the composition in several media that culminated into a stone lithograph intended for an illustrated Bible executed by another artist who apparently disappointed Prud'hon. In addition, the catalogue raisonne describes these early compositions as abandoned for another arrangement. This composition was possibly used for the small tableaux image that is in the British Museum collection (museum number 1873,1213.182) - a French lithograph dating to 1845. The catalogue refers to the Tableau in the M. Camille Marcille Collection.
Provenance: private Evanston, Illinois, USA collection
