The inside cover of François Hubert Drouais’s sketchbook features a label for Au Chant de l’Alouette, the store where the artist purchased his materials.Description
François Hubert Drouais was known primarily as a portraitist to the court of Louis XV, king of France. This sketchbook belongs to a pair in the museum’s collection that shows a more casual side of the artist’s practice. Its pages feature casual sketches including landscape, close studies of trees, and figures, revealing the subjects that interested the artist in his private hours.- François Hubert Drouais [1727-1775], Paris, FranceM.
