Study for the portrait of a Lady with a rose, around 1764. The drawing may be a study of drapery and pose for a portrait, possibly thatof Mary, Countess Howe.

The Apotheosis of Napoleon I, 1859. This image was the design for an imperial cameo. In 1859 Napoleon III commissioned the sculptor Adolphe David to carve a companion cameo to the largest surviving cameo from the classical world, the Grand Camee de la Chapelle Royale. Ingres made this design for David in the shape of the Grande Camee, based on a design for a ceiling in the Hotel de Ville in Paris. The ceiling, executed by Ingres in 1853 (but destroyed by fire in 1871) showed the same subject. Although David worked on this commission for thirteen years, no large enough stone was ever found and the final cameo showed only the central group of figures. The date (1821) inscribed by Ingres next to his name at the lower left of the drawing is the date of Napoleon's death. PD, 1949-2-12-6
