EUGENE-EMMANUEL VIOLLET-LE-DUC. David and Goliath, after a Capital in Vézelay Abbey

EUGENE-EMMANUEL VIOLLET-LE-DUC. David and Goliath, after a Capital in Vézelay Abbey. Artist: Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (French, Paris 1814-1879 Lausanne). Dimensions: Sheet: 7 1/8 × 5 13/16 in. (18.1 × 14.7 cm). Date: ca. 1840.
A sketch in graphite of the biblical figures David and Goliath portrayed in medieval garb. The sketch is inspired by a carving on a capital in the medieval cathedral at Vézeley. David, at left, brandishes a sling shot while Goliath, wearing chain mail, holds a shield and a spear.

Viollet-le-duc studied architecture as well as geology and was responsible for the, sometimes creative, restoration of many medieval buildings  This quick sketch, probably made in a sketchbook, depicts two figures carved on the capital of a column in the Vézeley Cathedral, a church in Burgundy that he was charged with restoring in 1840..
