Design is a 1848 by William Dyce, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows "Design" as a winged figure with a tablet. It’s by William Dyce, made between 1841 and 1854. Dyce led Britain’s first government art school. His design was meant to teach ornament and shape taste in factories and workshops. But the book that came from it got a bad rap for being stiff and dull. His work sticks with the Victoria and Albert Museum.
