Provenance:
Unknown eighteenth-century? collector (inventory number with flourish on verso corresponds to similar numbers on other sheets by artist, see Vercier 2000, 150). Rémi Valdemar Chardey (1813-?), Le Havre; [sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 14-16 May 1877, no. 353: "vingt-six beaux Dessins au crayon noir et à la sanguine: Composition, Têtes d'expression, Études de nus et de draperies" (inscription on verso notes sheet was part of this lot)]. (On Chardey, see Vercier 2000, 136; Hedley 2001 notes that drawings by La Fosse with the Charday provenance are often in poor condition and show water damage. A pronounced water stain on the Cleveland sheet, visible in all previous photographs, was removed for this exhibition.) Mr. and Mrs. Antonio di Nardo, Cleveland.

Context:
Charles de La Fosse decorated the dome and pendentives (the curved, triangular areas between two arches supporting a dome) of the Church of the Invalides in Paris, between 1703 and 1706. This drapery study, one La Fosse's finest known drawings, is for an early rendering of the figure of Saint John the Evangelist, who appears in one of the pendentives. The use of black, white, and red chalk was a popular technique among French artists and became known as trois crayons (literally 'three crayons').
