Thence by descent
This oil sketch is a study for Gérôme's large-scale painting, Love, the Conqueror (sold Christie's, New York, November 1, 1995, lot 33). It is visible on an easel in a contemporary photograph of Gérôme working on the final composition. The lion depicted is most likely the old circus animal that Gérôme took in as a pet. The sketch is part of the working process of a premier academic painter like Gérôme, who made several studies in oil and pencil before completing the final painting.
