Lot Essay

A study for the picture Vue de l'intrieur d'une halle exhibited at the Salon of 1779. The other half of the drawing is at the Muse d'Orlans, Dessins franais du XVIe au XVIIIe sicle, 1975, no. 66. The drawing was cut by Lpici himself as both halves are signed and mounted to look like finished compositions.
