You see women in draped robes offering gifts to a stone Terminus statue. A small fire burns in front of them. The drawing glows with fine, sharp lines. This sketch copies ancient Roman scenes. It shows how French artists in the 1500s loved classical style. The women’s robes look stiff, like statues brought to life. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
