Inglorious Artists
  1. A vintage print depicting an artist, possibly Jacques-Louis David, holding a palette and a paintbrush. Beside him stands a classical column with inscriptions and a sculpture of a helmeted head, hinting at Greco-Roman influences. Items such as an artist's easel and a draped cloth are also visible, contributing to the setting suggestive of an artist's studio during the Consulate period.
