Another study of this portrait, on which the artist made use of a wash drawing more important, belonged to the model, then to his niece amélie lenormant. Date: 1829. Dimensions: height: 28.5 cm (11.2 in); width: 20 cm (7.8 in). Medium: black pencil, gray wash, watercolor. Collection: Private collection. Juliette Récamier (1777-1849) (A)
