LITERATURE Robaut, no. 382.

L. Johnson suggests that the work he published in Vol. I, no. 32 (plate 27, Vol. II) might in fact be a copy of a lost work of the same title that he had not yet seen. He goes on to cite a painting called Etude d’après Bastien en cuirasse which appeared on a list compiled by Delacroix in the 1840s. We believe our painting to be the lost work to which Johnson refers and which is illustrated in Robaut, as no. 382, Seigneur en armure. Robaut’s illustration was made from a watercolor copy of the work by Frédéric Villot, a friend of Delacroix.
