About This Artwork

(See source) «[...] Doré is known to have painted several versions of this subject, the largest of which, measuring an impressive 20 x 30 feet, was exhibited at the Paris salon of 1876. The present painting, a preparatory sketch, is handled in a much freer and looser manner; a second preparatory sketch, in watercolor, was offered at Sotheby's in New York (23 May 1996, lot 453). Doré's composition was engraved by A. François.»
