Aquarelle en couleurs, encre de Chine, signée en bas à droite, 1945, 34 x 25 cm, encadrée. Maquette originale pour une illustration parue dans le N° hors-série de Fémina en mai 1945, premier numéro d'après-guerre. Gruau fait figurer son mannequin à l'aquarelle sur une toile peinte posée sur un pied, devant un chevalet. L'aquarelle représente une jeune femme en robe noire vaporeuse, coiffée d'un chapeau fleuri rose. Des tubes de peinture, un tissu bleu, un godet, une feuille de papier complètent la scène, mélangeant habilement fiction et réalité. René Gruau (Rimini, 1909-2004), d'origine italienne, de son véritable nom Zavagli Ricciardelli Comte Delle Caminate, vient s'installer à Paris avec sa mère française, dont il prend le nom en 1931. Très jeune il entame une carrière d'illustrateur de mode avec Lidel en Italie, puis Fémina, Marie-Claire, L'Officiel de la Couture, Vogue, Harper's Bazar, Flair, Adam, Sir et une longue collaboration avec "International Textiles" de Bemberg dont il réalise la plupart des couvertures. Dès 1947 il se lance dans la publicité et l'affiche avec des campagnes phares pour "Rouge Baiser", les "Bas Scandales", Elisabeth Arden, Jacques Griffe, Pierre Balmain, Boussac, Dormeuil. Il réalise pour son ami Christian Dior la campagne pour Miss Dior et ce fut le début d'une longue collaboration. Auprès des grands couturiers il noue aussi des relations d'amitié avec Hubert de Givenchy et Pierre Cardin. Son style se manifeste, selon son expression par "la simplicité graphique", le jet de son trait et l'élégance dont le sujet principal est la femme. Ce qu'il exprime "j'aime les femmes et mon oeil est amoureux d'elles". ("Gruau" de Gilles de Bure, Herscher 1989). De nombreuses expositions lui furent consacrées, dont une rétrospective, en 1989 au Musée du costume, Palais Galliera et en 2010-2011, une exposition lui fut consacrée à la Somerset House de Londres. Avec décontraction mais raffinement, René Gruau représente un homme vêtu d'un blouson rouge à poche ventrale sportif et portant une sacoche noire au côté. Œuvre originale.…
