Description
Jean-Guillaume MOITTE (Paris, 1746 – ibid., 1810) Clio, muse of History. Brown ink wash on brown-washed paper and engraved lines. Height: 200 cm Length: 43.6 cm Provenance: - Paris, private collection. Jean-Guillaume Moitte, commissioned around 1804 to create the bas-reliefs for the east façade of the Cour Carrée at the Louvre, produced several designs on the prescribed theme – intended to evoke history – of which only the one dedicated to Bonaparte was ultimately selected. The lines engraved by his wife were overlaid with a wash of brown ink by Guillaume Moitte. Only two copies of this allegory are known to exist.
