(La Chaux-de-Fonds 1887–1965 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin)
Esquisse au trait pour Nature morte du pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau. 1924.
Black crayon on paper.
Signed lower right: Jeanneret.
84 × 102 cm (visible dimensions).

The work is registered in the archive of the Fondation Le Corbusier. It will be included in volume two of the catalogue raisonné currently in preparation.

Provenance:
- Galerie Heidi Weber, Zurich.
- Swiss private collection, acquired from the above gallery circa in 1964 and by descent to the present owners.

Literature:
- Naïma Jornod and Jean-Pierre Jornod: Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret): Catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre peint, Milan 2005, p. 390, fig. 114 (with ill.).
- Maurice Jardot: Le Corbusier. L'Atelier de la recherche patiente (germ. "Le Corbusier. Mein Werk"), Stuttgart 1960, p. 207 (with ill.).
- see Maurice Jardot: Le Corbusier dessins, Paris 1955, no. 16 (with ill.).

This large-sized drawing is a direct preparatory drawing for the painting "Nature morte du pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau". Le Corbusier usually kept such drawings in smaller formats and transferred them to the painting in larger formats later. In its size, this sheet is therefore a rarity, as the representation already corresponds to the size of the oil painting.
