To master the rendering of the human form in conventional poses was a core aim of artistic training in art schools, or academies, which is why the resulting studies are known in French as "académies". This study has been identified as Delacroix"s earliest "académie" in oil paint, produced while he was a pupil of the history painter Pierre Narcisse Guérin. Delacroix was less interested in the contour of the figure than in conveying an impression of physical presence through the rendering of human flesh.
