Jacques-Louis DAVID (Paris 1748 - Brussels 1825) A montage of two drawings: A mourning scene with a seated woman on the left and another study of a woman carrying a drum. Gray wash over black pencil lines. Both bear the initials of David's brothers at lower left (Lugt 1437 and Lugt 839). (Slightly oiled, small stains). 9.4 x 11.3 cm - 11.7 x 17.8 cm (37 x 26.5 cm mounting dimensions) The first vignette can be compared with a sheet of similar composition (see : Pierre Rosenberg, Louis Antoine Prat, Jacques Louis David, Catalogue raisonné des dessins, Leonardo Arte, Milan, 2002, p.541, fig. 734 (Ic), reproduced). A presumed portrait of Madame Sedaine is also close to our second vignette (see : Pierre Rosenberg, Louis Antoine Prat, Jacques Louis David, Catalogue raisonné des dessins, Leonardo Arte, Milan, 2002, p.66, fig. 47, reproduced).
