EDITORS COMMENTS
This study by Jacques-Louis David, titled "Study for Distribution of Eagles, Prince Eugène de Beauharnais," dates back to the early 19th century. The antique drawing, executed in pen and brown ink on off-white laid paper, is edge-mounted on cream wove paper. The image depicts Prince Eugène de Beauharnais, a French aristocrat and military leader, in profile. He is shown in a thoughtful pose, dressed in military attire, with one hand resting on a sword and the other holding a scroll. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the subject's intense expression and the intricately detailed folds of his uniform. Prince Eugène de Beauharnais was a significant figure in French politics and culture during the Napoleonic era. He served as the Vice-King of Italy and was later made a Grand Duke in the Napoleonic Kingdom of Württemberg. This study is believed to be a preparatory drawing for a larger oil painting, possibly intended for an official portrait or a grand exhibition. The drawing is now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed among other masterpieces of European art. The black-and-white image, with its rich heritage and historical significance, continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
