ARTeFACT skeleton suit is part of a series of large paintings of objects that relate to the provenance and history of Théodore Géricault's (1791-1824) child portraits of Louise Vernet and the siblings Alfred and Élise Dedreux.

In sketches and in the painting Alfred wears a skeleton suit much like this.
