Study for a Triumphal Arch (recto); Alternate Study for a Triumphal Arch (verso) ca. 1800 Hubert Robert French This drawing was originally part of an album that contained 152 sketches made by Hubert Robert between 1775 and 1806 (Cailleux, 1979). The album, known as the Ernest May album, was a book of blank pages onto which drawings were pasted. Some of the sketches had to be cut to fit the size of the album. In the case of the Mets drawing, the cropping of the arches on both recto and verso are indications that the sheet has been cut down. It should be noted that our sketch is one of only two in the album to document the urban evolution of Paris (the other being a view of the demolition of the Bastille, op. cit., no 119).After his return from his Italian sojourn in 1765, Robert prefered the medium of black chalk for depicting landscapes and figures in his sketchbooks, as well as for his initial ideas for compositions.
