Design for a fountain is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a woman standing on a fancy pedestal holding a bowl. Below her, two small figures sit in a shell-shaped basin, each holding a handle. The lines are loose and sketchy, with some shading to show light and shadow. The woman looks like she’s part of a fountain design—her pose and the pedestal suggest water might flow from the bowl. The small figures add a playful touch, almost like cherubs. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
