Mayer-Michalon, Charles Meynier 1763-1832, Arthéna, Paris, 2008, cat. D.111, repr. p.217. Related works Charles Meynier, Alexandre le Grand cédant Campaspe à Apelle, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (D 822.1.1) Charles Meynier, Alexander the Great giving up Campaspe to Apelles, sketch, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (Inv. 2013) Charles Meynier, Alexandre le Grand cédant Campaspe à Apelle, drawing, Dijon, Musée des Beaux-Arts (ES 13) This drawing is related to the painting by Meynier commissioned by the Rennes School of Painting and Sculpture and exhibited at the Salon of 1822. According to Madame Mayer-Michalon, this sheet seems to be a repeat of the first preparatory drawing kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, probably intended for the commissioner of the painting as the work, signed, is also dated, which is rare for drawings by the artist.
