This black chalk drawing by Isidore Pils is a study for a larger mural commissioned for the Chapel of Saint Remi in Sainte-Clotilde, Paris, in the mid-19th century. The drawing depicts a figure, likely a cleric, standing in a flowing robe and gesturing with his right hand. The artist has captured the figure's anatomy and drapery with meticulous detail, creating a sense of realism and movement. The drawing provides a glimpse into Pils's process and his skill in depicting the human form. Pils was known for his history paintings and his meticulous approach to realism. This drawing, a study for a grand project, showcases the artist's talent and artistic process.
