Catalogue Note
Il s'agit d'une étude préparatoire pour la composition du Père éternel dans sa gloire portant les instruments de la Passion peinte par Antoine Coypel pour la voûte de la chapelle du château de Versailles en 1716.
Très proche de notre dessin, une étude d'ange et angelot, également préparatoire pour le plafond de la chapelle, est conservée au musée du Louvre (voir N. Garnier, Antoine Coypel 1661-1722, Paris, 1989, no. 456, p. 222, fig. 456).
