| Description | This drawing takes its subject and composition from Corot's painting A Nymph Playing with a Cupid (1857; Musée d'Orsay, Paris), exhibited at the Salon of 1857—the first time the artist had shown a work at the Salon featuring a female nude. He apparently made this drawing for his close friend and fellow painter Constant Dutilleux. [A work made of charcoal, with stumping, scraping and erasing, heightened with white gouache, on dark cream wove paper with inclusions.] |
