A Man and a Woman Embracing baron Antoine Jean Gros French Of all of Jacques Louis Davids students, Gros was among the most successful and the most loyal. When David was banished from France after the downfall of Napoleon, it was to Gros whom he entrusted the management of his studio. Despite the enduring closeness of the two men, their drawing techniques could hardly have been more different. While Davids technique was rational and legible, Gros tended to cover the sheet with a flurry of rapid sketches. This study of a couple embracing may have been related to his lost painting Les Bergers dArcadie (The Shepherds of Arcadia), executed around 1792.
