A study sheet with a fragment copied from Raphael’s famous stanze della
Segnatura in the Vatican. Jean-Antoine Julien, known as Julien de Parme (1736-
1799) was a Swiss-born painter who studied painting at Craveggia (Piemonte).
Between 1760 and 1771 he stayed in Rome to study ancient and Renaissance
art as the final part of his artistic education. This drawing sheet represents this
formative phase of the young artist’s career. In France he would later become a
leading neoclassicist painter, whose successful career was only overshadowed
by that of David. His paintings and drawings are now part of the collections of
the Louvre, the Albertina, the Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans.
Two women sitting on the edge of a well, talking to a bearded young man. In
the background, a camel is witness to the scene. Possibly Moses meeting with
Miriam in the desert. Mod. attribution to Loir on passe-partout.
