專家說明
This small oil study can be dated with certainty to between 1841 and 1858 due to the Deforges stamp on the reverse.
Delacroix treated the subject on a larger scale in six canvases, executed between 1841 and 1853, four of which are larger variants of the present composition. The glowing halo around the head of the sleeping Christ brings it closest to two works painted in 1853, one of which is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (fig. 1).
This lot will be included by Brame & Lorenceau in their archives on the artist.
