École Gratuite de Dessin

École Gratuite de Dessin is the name of various art schools in France, notably the Royal Free School of Art (École royale gratuite de dessin), or Petite École, founded in 1766 by Jean-Jacques Bachelier, confirmed in 1767 by letters patent from Louis XV of France. After several changes of name, in 1877 the school became the National School of Decorative Arts (École nationale des arts décoratifs) before taking its present name École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in 1927.
