Artcurial will offer a rare preparatory drawing by Antoine-Jean Gros depicting General Bonaparte at the Bridge of Arcole during its Old Master & 19th Century Drawings auction on March 25, 2026. Executed in Milan on December 7, 1796, the work was a gift from Gros to the painter Vincenzo Camuccini and has remained in the Camuccini family collection until its recent rediscovery. The drawing served as the primary study for the famous portrait now held at the Palace of Versailles and is considered a foundational work of French Romanticism.
