Not on view
This red chalk figural study relates closely to an allegorical painting, Charity, ca.1648 by Charles Le Brun (1619-1690) in the Musee des Beaux-Arts, Caen (inv. 84.8.1). In the eighteenth century, it featured in the collections of John Barnard and Jonathan Richardson the Elder, whose marks can be seen at the lower right.
