Specialist note

Alongside his political career under Napoleon, Dominique-Vivant Denon devoted himself to the graphic arts, lithography and drawing in particular. The present drawing is comparable in handling to a group of portrait studies and caricatures sold at Christie’s in London (4 July 1989, lots 147-178).
