Note: this painting is typical of the size of the sketch canvas for the competitions for the Prix de Rome. Two subjects seem to correspond to this painting: in 1786, Coriolanus left his family to go into exile and in 1791, Regulus returned to Carthage. But we are leaning more towards the subject of 1786.
