Jean-Louis Provost, seated and resting his left arm on the back of a chair 

This pencil sketch by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres is a portrait of Jean-Louis Provost, an artist who was a close friend of Ingres. The drawing captures Provost in a casual pose, seated with his left arm resting on the back of a chair. The simplicity of the composition and the delicate lines of the drawing highlight Ingres's mastery of Neoclassical style. This artwork, currently in a private collection, provides a glimpse into the relationship between two prominent figures of the art world in 19th-century France.
