This drawing is a copy of a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) in the Louvre, Paris, thought to represent a mistress of Francis I. Ingres’s work precisely traces the subtle contours of the painting revealing his skills as a draughtsman, but Ingres omits the parapet at the bottom of the original painting. Ingres made countless copies after the old masters. This drawing was made when the artist was a student and presented to his master, Jacques-Louis David (1784–1825), before he left for Rome in 1806.
