Götter und eine Göttin im Gespräch

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, 1775/80

This is a drawing of four figures arranged in a slightly circular composition. One figure is seated on a piece of furniture with curved legs, draped in fabric and gesturing with an upward-pointing hand. Next to this figure is a partially clothed figure seated on what appears to be fabric. To the left of these figures is a naked standing figure with a muscular build, seemingly in dialogue with the seated draped figure. On the right is another unclothed figure with wings, seated in a relaxed position. The style of the drawing is reminiscent of classical and renaissance studies, characterized by delicate and precise line work on a textured paper background.
