Anquetin greatly valued works by the Old Masters, particularly
their expressive representation of strong manly forms. This
impelled him to concentrate his attention on anatomical studies and
on the composition of a theoretical treatise The Catechism of
the Form, or the Lesser Dictionary. The search of initial
anatomic forms common for both a man and an animal led him to the
conclusion that his own strong torso had much in common with that
of a lion. He produced numerous sketches for his treatise, which
show both a lion and his self-portrait. This drawing also may serve
as an illustration for the treatise.
