Studie für eine Dekorationsmalerei im Palais Bourbon c. 1833 - 1834

This sketch by Eugène Delacroix is a study for a decorative painting intended for the Palais Bourbon, a building that houses the French National Assembly. Created in 1833-1834, the drawing depicts a scene with several figures, likely classical mythological beings, rendered in dynamic and expressive strokes. The looseness and fluidity of the lines are characteristic of Delacroix's style, and the composition suggests a sense of motion and drama. The sketch offers a glimpse into the creative process of the artist, revealing his approach to composition and figure study.
