Composition with Figural Relief is a 1782 ink by Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the image, a woman in a flowing robe stands beside a cherub, who is holding a bunch of grapes. The woman is pouring wine from a horn into a bowl held by the cherub. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and foliage. The woman's robe is draped elegantly, and the cherub's wings are outstretched as he reaches for the grapes. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of abundance and joy. The intricate details of the image suggest a high level of craftsmanship, and the use of etching on laid paper adds a sense of texture and depth. The image is a beautiful example of Baroque art, and it invites the viewer to explore the world of this artistic movement.
