Catalogue Note
Notre dessin est une copie d'après le tableau Portrait de Henri-Louis Lekain dans le rôle de Gengis-Khan (personnage de la tragédie de Voltaire L'Orphelin de la Chine) réalisé par Simon-Bernard Lenoir en 1769 (CARP.1924, musée Carnavalet, Paris). Lenoir a réalisé deux autres versions reprenant exactement la même composition mais datées de 1777 actuellement dans la collection de la Comédie Française, Paris (numéros d'inventaire 0002 et 0209).
