Feuille de douze médailles antiques is a 1825 by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a bunch of old-style faces carved like coins. Some look serious, some wear crowns or helmets, and a few have wild hair. The lines are dark and scratchy, like they were etched or drawn fast. One face in the middle has a crown of leaves—maybe a king or a god. The artist signed it in the corner, but the names aren’t clear. Want to know more about how artists like this worked? Check out Romanticism.
