1835 · Oil on canvas

Dimensions 40 × 33.5 cm

Collection: Doria Collection

This head of a woman may have been part of Delacroix's preparations for "The Death of Sardanapalus", one of his most famous and controversial paintings, although it wasn't used in the final result. It was part of the collection of Count Armand Doria until 1899 and is now in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Cette tête de femme est vraisemblablement une étude en vue de "La Mort de Sardanapale", une des peintures les plus célèbres et controversées de Delacroix, dans laquelle elle n'a finalement pas été utilisée. Cette toile a fait partie de la collection du Comte Armand Doria jusqu'en 1899, elle se trouve à présent au Bristol Museum and Art Gallery.
