The recto is one of numerous studies for the famous painting in the Louvre, The Raft of the Medusa, completed in 1819 (inv. 4884). It shows a father holding his dead son in the foreground of the raft to the left of the painting (for other studies of this duo, see G. Bazin, Théodore Gericault. Etude critique, documents et catalogue raisonné, Paris, 1994, VI, nos. 1996-2010). The verso, in graphite, shows a female nude. The painter Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875) made a tracing of the recto (Private collection; G. Bazin, op. cit., 1994, no. 170).
