Portrait of a Young Man. Artist: Pierre Narcisse Guérin (French, Paris 1774-1833 Rome). Dimensions: Sheet: 19 7/8 × 15 13/16 in. (50.5 × 40.2 cm). Date: ca. 1810-20.This portrait drawing of a young man in classical dress is a rarity in Guerin's oeuvre. The subject was likely one of his students, rendered here in a soft, diffuse light, with his eyes uplifted and curls of dark hair framing his face.After Guerin's death, the drawings remaining in his studio were divided between nine of his students, with instructions that they share them with other students, not named in the will. In this case, we know from the inscription on the mount that the drawing went first to Alphonse-Henri Périn (1798-1874), who then presented it to Stéphane Vignes. Other drawings from Guerin's studio are mounted on similar blue mounts and feature similar inscriptions. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
