Mouton
Black chalk and white chalk, 250 x 324 mm.
Direct study of a sheep on olive-brown wove paper; a few spots of red-brown paint on the paper, a few creases and short tears away from the image. Chaigneau was born in Bordeaux and studied there and in Paris. He moved to Barbizon in 1858, where he lived for the rest of his life. Though not among the original Barbizon group, he became a fixture there and exhibited both there and in Paris. The Barbizon Museum mounted a one-man show of his works (catalog) in 1985.
