This exhibition explores stories of (mis)identification in drawings by some of nineteenth-century France’s most renowned artists and their followers, including Théodore Chassériau, Charles Damour, Eugène Delacroix, Joseph Ducreux, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Léon Louis Antoine Riesener, examining portraiture’s powers and limitations in capturing histories, personalities, and identities.

Though little known beyond his native Sweden, sculptor and draftsman Johan Tobias Sergel (1740–1814) was one of the most compelling artistic figures of the late eighteenth century. This exhibition—the first dedicated to Sergel outside Europe—will feature a selection of his drawings alongside sculptural works in terracotta, marble, and plaster.
