"A Study for The Orpheus Group in The Peers' Library and Two Studies for Mercury and Mars from the Salon de la Paix: Three Drawings by Eugène Delacroix" is a collection of three significant drawings by the renowned French Romantic artist Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863). Delacroix, known for his expressive brushstrokes and emphasis on color over linearity, was a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement and his work had a profound influence on the development of both Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting.

The first drawing in the collection, "A Study for The Orpheus Group," was a preparatory work for Delacroix's commission to decorate the Library of the Chamber of Peers in the Palais du Luxembourg. This project, undertaken in the mid-19th century, was one of several state commissions that Delacroix received, which allowed him to explore themes from literature and history on a grand scale. The Orpheus Group refers to a segment of the larger work in which Delacroix depicted scenes from the life of the mythological poet and musician Orpheus.

The other two studies, "Mercury" and "Mars," were part of Delacroix's designs for the ceiling of the Salon de la Paix at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. The Salon de la Paix, or Peace Room, was one of the grand municipal rooms intended to symbolize the glory and stability of the city of Paris. Delacroix's work in the Hôtel de Ville was unfortunately destroyed during the Paris Commune in 1871, making these preparatory studies invaluable for understanding what the completed decorations might have looked like.

These drawings exemplify Delacroix's masterful handling of movement and form, as well as his ability to convey complex mythological narratives through his art. The works are held in high esteem not only for their aesthetic qualities but also for their historical significance, as they provide insight into Delacroix's creative process and the artistic concerns of his time. The drawings are a testament to Delacroix's skill as a draftsman and his contributions to the Romantic movement in art.

The three studies by Delacroix are important artifacts within the oeuvre of the artist and are often studied by art historians and enthusiasts who seek to understand the evolution of 19th-century French art. They continue to be exhibited and researched, offering a window into the grandeur of the period's public art commissions and the meticulous preparatory work that underpinned them.
