This painting shows a man searching for something. He's looking for his stolen gods, and the scene is tense. The artist made this as a sketch for a competition. The competition was a big deal, held by the Royal Academy in Paris. It was a surprise contest, and the artist's work was well received. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Augustin de Saint-Aubin (French, 1736–1807)
