Tomb Effigies; A Man in a Suit of Armor beside a Child c. 1825 - 1830

This pencil sketch, created by Eugène Delacroix between 1825 and 1830, depicts a tomb effigy of a man in armor standing beside a child. The figures are rendered with detailed attention to the intricate details of their clothing, particularly the armor, and a sense of realism. The use of graphite allows Delacroix to capture the subtle shadows and textures of the sculpture, giving it a sense of depth. This drawing is an example of Delacroix's exploration of historical and religious subjects.
