Drawing (Italy)

This is a Drawing. We acquired it in 1938. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.


This arch may well have been intended as an arch of honor for Napoleon Bonaparte as the identification of Hannibal would have been consistent with his self-image.

It is credited Museum purchase through gift of various donors and from Eleanor G. Hewitt Fund.
