One of the "Dioscuri" and a Barbarian Prisoner is a 1760 chalk by Hubert Robert, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is titled "One of the 'Dioscuri' and a Barbarian Prisoner". This work is interesting because it was created over a period of time, with the exact dates ranging from 1754 to 1765. The use of black chalk and graphite on laid paper is also notable, as it suggests a level of detail and precision. To learn more about this style, look into the movement: Romanticism.
Hubert Robert (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1733 – 15 April 1808) was a French painter in the school of Romanticism, noted especially for his landscape paintings and capricci, or semi-fictitious picturesque depictions of ruins in Italy and of France.
