Sculpture décorative avec une femme vue de dos

Hubert Robert, 1754/1765

This is a drawing of a decorative architectural element and a sketch of a figure. The drawing features a highly ornate design on the left side with two mythical bird-like creatures facing each other with wings raised, possibly supporting a central medallion or roundel flanked by scrollwork. To the right, there is a simple outline of a human figure in motion, appearing to balance or carry something across their shoulders. The composition is composed of light pencil lines, indicating it may be a preliminary study or conceptual design. The drawing may serve as a preparatory piece, capturing an idea with quick and loose strokes.
