Roman Album No.11
Jacques Louis David French
Not on view
After returning to Paris in 1780, David pasted the sketches from his student years in Rome into large albums according to type. Here, he grouped three studies of seated or reclining women, two based on antiquities and one (middle) on an unidentified source. Figures like these find an echo in his compositions of the 1780s, such as the two drawings depicting Camilla hanging nearby.
