Louis XV as a Roman Emperor ca. 1750-60 Michel François Dandré-Bardon This large figure study can be connected to a lost painting, L'Ami de la paix, depicting the French king Louis XV in the garb of a Roman emperor. The drawing is primarily a study for the costume and the pose; the kings features are only summarily indicated. Two compositional studies in ink and wash (Graphische Sammlung Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London) must have preceded our study, judging from the large scale of the figure and the level of detail. The Latin inscription on the stone refers to olive branches replacing spears. A similar costume and pose was adopted by the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Pigalle for a bronze monument commissioned in 1755 and erected in Reims in 1765. Perrin Stein (2017). Louis XV as a Roman Emperor.

A Standing Angel and two Cherubs. Artist: Ascribed to Federico Zuccaro (Zuccari) (Italian, Sant'Angelo in Vado 1540/42-1609 Ancona). Dimensions: 9 1/2 x 4 3/4in. (24.1 x 12.1cm). Date: ca. 1566.Lively drawn with pen and ink, brush, brown wash and highlighted with white gouache, this drawing by Federico Zuccaro was possibly conceived for the figure of the Angel that appears at the upper left of his altarpiece with 'The Coronation of the Virgin with the Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence' in the Roman church of San Lorenzo in Damaso (ca. 1566). This connection was first proposed by John Gere, while the attribution of the drawing to Zuccaro is due to Jacob Bean (Curatorial Files, April 1962). Right after its acquisition in 1887, the sheet was published as a work by Fra Angelico in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Handbook of 1895 (no. 697). (F.R.).
