"Central Figure, study for The Life of Saint Louis, King of France" is a charcoal drawing by Alexandre Cabanel, completed around 1878. This study is a preparatory work for the artist's larger painting "The Life of Saint Louis, King of France", highlighting a single figure in a gesture of humility. The drawing showcases Cabanel's mastery in capturing detail and anatomical accuracy, evident in the figure's posture and the intricate folds of the robe. Now located at The Art Institute of Chicago, the drawing is a significant example of the artist's practice and offers a glimpse into the creation of a grand historical narrative.
