This drawing shows a tall, narrow scene framed like a building. Inside, a winged figure stands holding a spear and a shield. The figure has a serious expression and is dressed in flowing robes. The background is a simple, light-colored wall with a dark border at the top. The drawing looks like a sketch for a larger work. The figure’s pose and wings suggest it might be a mythological character. The lines are precise, with some shading to show depth. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
