Notes:
This drawing relates to Moreau's famous 1864 Salon entry of the same title (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). It most likely served as the working drawing for the image in L'autographie au Salon de 1864 et dans les ateliers, which was published on June 10, 1864. An earlier version of the drawing (May 1864) is in the collection of the Gustave Moreau Museum in Paris (no. 1559).
