Georges LACOMBE (1868 - 1916) Bather Black pencil. Studio stamp lower right (Lugt 4390). 30 x 19 cm Bibliography This drawing appears in the exhibition catalog Georges Lacombe, sculptures - Peintures - Dessins, Paris, Charles et André Bailly, 1991, no. 112, reproduced on p. 79.

This drawing is preparatory to the figure of Eve, the left-hand part of the fireplace surround at Château de Launay, sculpted for Lucien Besnard by Georges Lacombe around 1910-1912. The model for this Eve is Botticelli's Venus, of which Georges Lacombe also made a drawing. The mantel has been dismantled and is now housed at the Musée du Petit Palais in Geneva.
