Sigmund Freudenberger, Swiss 1745-1801- Musical Diversion; and Le Lever; the first black chalk, pen and black ink and grey wash on paper, the second black chalk, pen and brown ink and grey wash on paper, the first 14.8 x 11 cm., the second 9 x 7.8 cm., two (2). Provenance (the first): Collection of Le?on Decloux, Paris.; His sale, Paris, Ho?tel Drouot, 14-15 February 1898, lot 69.; With P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., London, 1959.; Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 5 July 2000, lot 343.; The estate of the late designer Anthony Powell. Exhibited (the first): London, P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., 'Old Master Drawings', 28 May-27 June 1959, no.42. Note: The first is a pendant in the same style and of the same dimensions to no.332 of the Musee Jacquemart-André, 'Le Lever', which was engraved in 1774 for the 'Monument de Costume'. Presumably it was intended but not used for the same series. The second bears similarities to the artist's sketches 'Le Lever' and 'Le Petit Jour' in which a maid assists her mistress with dressing.
