"Étude pour 'Le Songe d'Ossian'" is a study drawing by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, created as a preparatory work for his larger painting "Le Songe d'Ossian" (The Dream of Ossian), which was completed in 1813. The drawing exemplifies Ingres's meticulous approach to composition and his fascination with literary and historical subjects, particularly those inspired by the Romantic literary works of the time.

The subject of the drawing and the subsequent painting is derived from the purportedly ancient epic poetry of Ossian, which was published by the Scottish writer James Macpherson in the 18th century. Macpherson's works had a significant impact on the Romantic movement in art and literature, influencing a wide array of artists, including Ingres. The poems were later revealed to be largely the invention of Macpherson himself, but they continued to inspire artistic works due to their evocative themes and settings.

Ingres's study captures a moment from the epic where the legendary bard Ossian is enveloped in a dreamlike vision of the spirits of his ancestors. The composition is characterized by a harmonious arrangement of figures and a delicate interplay of light and shadow, which Ingres would further develop in the final painting. The ethereal quality of the scene is a departure from the more rigid and structured compositions typical of Neoclassicism, hinting at the emerging Romantic sensibilities of the time.

The drawing is an important example of Ingres's preparatory works, showcasing his skill in draftsmanship and his ability to translate complex literary ideas into visual form. "Étude pour 'Le Songe d'Ossian'" not only provides insight into Ingres's creative process but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the early 19th century. The final painting, "Le Songe d'Ossian," is housed in the Musée Ingres in Montauban, France, and the study drawing remains a valuable piece of art historical research, illustrating the artist's development of one of his significant works.
