Olindo and Sophronia Saved by Clorinda is a 1788 ink by Jean-Pierre Norblin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic scene where a half-dressed woman is being dragged from a balcony by two men. Below, horses and riders kick up dust as people scatter in panic. The building behind them has arched windows and a dome, while the sky is pale and the colors are mostly browns and grays. The woman’s pose and the dramatic action suggest this isn’t just a random fight—it’s a moment pulled from a story. The loose, sketchy lines and watery colors make it feel like a quick study rather than a polished work. If you like this style, check out Baroque art next.
Jean-Pierre Norblin (1745–1830) was an artist.
