Gérôme's skills as a draftsman contributed to his ability to impart a strong sense of realism to paintings showing reconstructions of ancient historical events. In this instance, he has carefully delineated two figures who appear in "a roman slave market" (1884), a painting that henry walters purchased in 1917 (walters 37. 885). Date: 19th century. Place of creation: Paris, France. Dimensions: height: 32 cm (12.6 in); width: 20 cm (7.8 in). Medium: graphite on paper. Collection: Walters Art Museum.
