Description

Early drafts and sketches by celebrated French painter Eugene Delacroix

French artist (1798–1863) who takes a place in the first rank of painters in the Romantic tradition and whose mastery of color and technique inspired both the Impressionist and Symbolist schools. Autograph manuscript in French, signed "Delacroix," four pages on two adjoining sheets, 7 x 8.25, originating from one of his youthful notebooks. Delacroix writes out drafts of Latin (theme, verse) and Greek (translation) exercises. In addition, he draws a pencil sketch of a sun on the second page; a detailed ink sketch of a man's head on the final page (subsequently crossed out); and some arabesques lightly drawn in pencil on the last page. In fine condition.
