Kommentar til Jean-Marie-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) and Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844)
French art historian Jacques Foucart also mentioned the correspondence between the drawing of Alexander Baillie by Ingres and the bust by Thorvaldsen in the catalogue of the 1977 Thorvaldsen exhibition in Berne: Siegfried Gohr, dir., Bertel Thorvaldsen. Skulpturen, modelle, bozzetti,
handzeichnungen, Museen der Stadt (Cologne), février-avril 1977, p. 75. He dwelled on that subject in a later article published in the Bulletin du Musée Ingres, n° 45 (July 1980), p. 11.
