Notes
The subject of this drawing is taken from The Judgement of Solomon (I Kings 3:16).
This work is part of a sketchbook:
Sketchbook Paris I, 1857–1871 (3014)
Sketchbook Paris I, 1857–1871 (3014)
Both the front and back endpapers are of papier moiré. At one time the entire sketchbook was dismantled and reattached and possibly restored in 1960s or 1970s. The sheets were renumbered at lower right by the Louvre in the 1990s(?) in Arabic numerals, the pagination we are using here. Pages 30-39 are the only extant original 8-page quire.
