Catalogue Note
This free and atmospheric drawing can be compared with other examples of Delacroix's landscape studies, many of which are in the Louvre and were made in the Loire valley when he visited his brother Charles who lived at Tours (see M. Sérullaz, Dessins d'Eugène Delacroix, Paris 1984, nos. 1147-51, 1187-90, reproduced).
