Feuille de douze médailles antiques

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of 12 ancient-style medallions arranged on a piece of paper. The medallions are circular and contain profiles of people's heads. The profiles are in various directions. Most of the profiles are male; one appears to be female. Some of the medallions have decorative elements such as laurel wreaths, headbands, or other adornments. The medallions are drawn in various shades of gray, with some having more detailed features than others. The background of the paper is off-white with darker shading behind some of the medallions. A signature is present at the bottom. The overall style of the drawing is reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman art. The title "Feuille de douze médailles antiques" and the artist "Eugène Delacroix" are associated with the image.
