Study for "Gil Blas and the Archbishop" (from Sketchbook of Figure and Landscape Subjects) ca. 1839 Francis William Edmonds American The execution of sketches and studies was a crucial part of Edmondss creative process. Many of his drawings exist as independent works--apparently never taken further--but many others represent an initial step in his conception for paintings. This sketchbook, which he began about 1838, includes both types of drawings of a variety of subjects. The present work is a well-developed preparatory study for Edmondss oil painting of about 1849 “Gil Blas and the Archbishop.” The theme derives from Alain-René Lesages eighteenth-century French novel “Histoire de Gil Blas de Santillane,” which Edmonds had read in a translation by the English picaresque novelist.
