EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative self-portrait by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, titled "Portrait of the Artist with His Younger Brother, Augustin Saint-Aubin," dates back to the 18th century and offers a rare glimpse into the life of a French artist and his relationship with his sibling. The monochromatic drawing, executed in graphite and black crayon on laid paper, captures the intimacy and bond between the two brothers. Gabriel, the older brother and artist, is depicted in a thoughtful pose, looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. He wears a simple shirt and waistcoat, and his unkempt hair and furrowed brow suggest a deep concentration. Augustin, the younger brother, sits beside his brother, gazing off into the distance with a curious and playful expression. His disheveled hair and casual attire contrast with his brother's more formal appearance, highlighting their age difference and distinct personalities. The brothers are depicted in a simple, unadorned setting, with a plain background that draws the focus to their figures. This drawing is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a unique insight into the lives of two brothers in 18th century France. The use of black and white crayon adds to the historic and timeless quality of the artwork, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition. This piece is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the universal themes of family and brotherhood.
