Rat of the Sabines - Sanguine Drawing End of 18th Century

End of 18th Century

About the Item

Rat of Sabinesis an original sanguine drawing on thick cream-colored paper, realized by an anonymous French artist of the end of XVIII century. A superb original drawing with skilled use of the nuanced, representing the mythological scene of the rat of Sabines or the Proserpina's kidnapping. Although the tragic mood, the scene has something of idyllic and sugarcoated, in the typical Neoclassical style. A virtousic use of the light and shadows presents a wide gradient of tones and a balanced composition that demonstrates a great sensibility near to that of photographers. A really pleasant old master's artwork, in very good conditions, except for foxing on the margins and some minor stains and yellow stripes on the right margin, some defect do not affect the image that has preserved its beauty.
