Lot Essay

Although not made into a print, this drawing must relate to Gérard’s illustrations for a French edition of the ancient Greek novel by Longus, published in 1800 by Pierre Didot the Elder under the title . While most of the illustrations of this luxury edition were designed by Gérard, some were made after Pierre-Paul Prud’hon. Another, sketchier drawing by Gérard related to the publication, also not engraved, is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (inv. 2012.234).
