LEQUEU, Jean-Jacques
(b. 1757, Rouen, d. ca. 1826, Paris)

He is free

1798-99
Pen and ink and watercolour, 635 x 500 mm
Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris

This drawing is a detail from "Lascivious Figures." Numerous pictures and motifs thematize "liberty" band "liberation," particularly in connection with the French Revolution. Lequeu's version is a bizarre example.
