Studies of male heads and a standing male figure

Eugène Delacroix French

Not on view

Delacroix executed the variety of figures and heads that occupy the center of this sheet with the utmost economy of means. With a few strokes of his brush dipped in gray wash, he conveys a host of characters and expressions. The layered splotches of color that border the right and left sides show how the artist blotted and tested his watercolors.
