(18.6 x 24.9 cm), Drawings, Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798–1863 Paris), Like many young artists of his day, Delacroix occasionally took up assignments to supply Parisian journals with caricatures that called for the comical distortion of figures' features or stance. By around 1820, such elements of exaggeration seem to have infiltrated his works, more or less subtly
