Works by Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), in the public domain: paintings, portraits, oil sketches and drawings (studies after the antique, views of Rome, studies for his great paintings) published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs come from the museum itself when it publishes them under an open licence, otherwise from Wikimedia Commons, in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence with the photographer's name. Only works that the museum attributes to David himself are included, without 'workshop of', 'after' or 'attributed to'. A sketchbook or album leaf is presented as a work.
