David d'Angers aimed to create a series of portraits in sculpture that would capture all of the outstanding men and women of his time. This drawing relates to a medallion portrait of the writer George Sand, the pseudonym adopted by a woman named Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dupin so that she could publish her work. David d'Angers captured his sitter's independence sympathetically, as she stares forward and upward, as if seen in thought.
