This print shows a mix of drawn figures and objects arranged like a collage. On the left, a woman sits holding a basket, while a shield with a horse’s head hangs above her. In the center, a robed woman leans on a pedestal with a lion sculpture nearby. To the right, a woman stands with a child, and another shield shows a figure playing a lyre. The artist combined real and imagined pieces to mimic ancient ruins. The lines are precise but light, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Look up Pierre-Nicolas Beauvallet to see more of his work.
