About the Item

Ca. 1780-1790, French oil sketch of a lady, likely an amazon or an allegory of the republic In Greek mythology, the Amazons are portrayed in a number of ancient epic poems and legends, such as the Labours of Hercules, the Argonautica and the Iliad. On the back there are two inscriptions and an old (inventory?) number. The inscription to the left reads "Pierre-Paul Prud’hon" and on the top of the stretcher there in another one which looks much older "Prud’hon". We believe it to possibly be by a student or follower of this great artist. The sketch measures ca. 24*13,5cm and with the frame ca. 30*19cms Provenance: private collection USA
