Study for "Hope"
(18th and 19th Centuries )
This drawing is a study for the painting "Hope." A version in oil is also in the Walters' collection (WAM 37.156). As the figure in this drawing is nude, it more closely relates to another version of the painting now in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. The drawing is inscribed to the artist Leon Bouillon (1848-1900).
