Jules Oury, known as MARCEL-LENOIR (1872-1931) Nude with fruits Graphite and shading signed lower right 48 x 31 cm (Paper insolate) Authentication of the Marcel-Lenoir Committee and Inclusion of the work in the catalog raisonné "This work is probably a preparatory research for two paintings, one religious, allegorical and the second, mythological, in a game of superposition. Indeed, the female icon, naked, brandishing two circular and full forms, opulent balls, the apple, fruit of the sin, suggests Eve while we distinguish, behind this one, the image of a swan, its tapered and sinuous neck, as well as its wings, composing an ornamental drapery, recalling as for him the theme of the Greek mythology of Leda and the swan knowing a certain fortune in the 20th century, where Zeus, under the appearance of a swan, tries to seduce Leda, the wife of the king of Sparta Tyndare and after their embrace, Hera placed two eggs in the body of Leda which will see the birth in one Helen and Pollux and in the second Clytemnestra and Castor. Also, we can date this work from the third period of maturity of the artist, around 1920 when Marcel-Lenoir always renews himself in the heart of Modern Art with a plastic with supple, rounded, undulating, full forms, here, particularly generous and sculptural.
