"Recto: Frontispice: Histoire De La Greceverso: Etude Au Crayon Sur Papier Prepare Plume Et Encre Noire Surtrait De Crayon Noir" is an artwork by the French artist Claude Louis Desrais (1746–1816), known for his detailed illustrations and engravings. This piece is notable for its intricate design and the dual nature of its composition, featuring artwork on both the front (recto) and back (verso) sides of the paper.

On the recto, the piece presents a frontispiece, which is a decorative illustration that precedes the title page of a book, in this case, presumably related to the history of Greece. The term "frontispice" in French denotes such an illustration, suggesting that Desrais's work was intended as a visual introduction to a literary work on Greek history. The detailed illustration likely captures elements of Greek culture, mythology, or historical events, serving both as an embellishment and a thematic precursor to the text it accompanies.

The verso of the artwork features a study executed in pencil on prepared paper, with additional detailing using pen and black ink, as well as black pencil highlighting. The term "étude au crayon" indicates that this side of the paper was used for a pencil study, a common practice among artists for sketching preliminary designs or practicing technique. The use of prepared paper suggests that Desrais might have treated the surface to achieve a particular texture or absorbency, enhancing the quality of the pencil and ink work.
