1735
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Interior Scene with Soldiers at a Table is a 1735 by Charles Parrocel, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy room with a group of people around a table. Some are sitting, some are standing, and a few hold drinks or food. In the background, soldiers with hats and swords stand near a tent-like structure. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and some darker shading. The artist didn’t finish the details, leaving many figures just as rough outlines. This style makes the scene feel lively but unfinished, like a quick note of a moment in time. Next, check out Baroque to see how this sketch fits into that bold, dramatic style.
Charles Parrocel was a French painter and engraver and a specialist in battle and hunt paintings.
