Jacques-Louis DAVID (1748-1825). L.A.S., 8 nivôse XII (December 30, 1803), to Vivant Denon, Director General of the Musée Napoléon, at the Louvre galleries; 1page in-8, addressed (wetness with small tears, paper fragile). Denon had proposed to "have the antique heads mounted that are to serve in perfecting the painting that occupies me at the moment"; not all of them could be mounted at the same time. David lists here "the most pressing": "Jupiter no. 116, the one placed at the door leading to the Salle de l'Apollon. Aesculapius n° 40. Ptolemy n° 0. This head with a strip in the corner of the window illuminating the Laocoon. The head only with the helmet of a smaller-than-life figure of Mars n° 157. Antinous n° 177"...
