Rat of Sabines
Rat of Sabines is an original sanguine drawing on thick cream-colored paper, realized by an anonymous French artist of the end of the XVIII century.
A superb original drawing with skilled use of the nuances, representing the mythological scene of the rat of the Sabines or Proserpina's kidnapping. Although the tragic mood, the scene has something of idyllic and sugarcoated, in the typical Neoclassical style.
A virtuous use of lights and shadows with a wide gradient of tones and a balanced composition, demonstrating a great sensibility, close 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. These defects do not affect the image that has preserved all its beauty.
