Attributed to Julien-David Le Roy (1724-1803) The Temple of Minerva suniade (today Sounion) Watercolor, pen and wash on paper 270 x 430 mm. Our drawing is probably the one, executed in Greece, which will be used for the transposition in engraving, by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, for the famous work Les Ruines des plus beaux Monumens de la Grèce, edited by Le Roy, in Paris, in 1758 (pt. 1, pl. XI). It would thus be one of the oldest French archaeological drawings made on the spot, by the one who is considered today as the father of the French Hellenism. No other drawings by Le Roy seem to be known.
