A FEMALE NUDE DRAWING ATTR TO MIHALY VON ZICHY, CA. 1845
Attributed to Mihaly von Zichy (Hungarian, Russian, 1827 - 1906), erotic pencil on paper laid on cardboard drawing depicting a reclining nude. Unsigned. Note: Mihaly Zichy was a Hungarian painter and graphic artist. He was a significant representative of Hungarian romantic painting. During his law studies in Pest from 1842, he attended Jakab Marastoni's school as well. In Vienna he was Ferdinand Waldmüller's pupil in 1844. Lifeboat, his first major work, comes from this time. On Waldmüller's recommendation, he became an art teacher in St. Petersburg. He swore allegiance to freedom by painting the portrait of Lajos Batthyány, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, in 1849. From 1850 onwards, he worked as a retoucher, but he also did pencil drawings, water colours and portraits in oil.
