Neoclassical Architectural Drawing
Neoclassical architectural drawing
Elegant black and white drawing representing a fragment of an entablature and column base, treated in a sober and geometric style.
The composition plays on effects of superposition and cutting, which give this academic subject an almost abstract dimension. This type of work is part of the neoclassical and academic tradition where the study of architectural orders was an essential exercise for architects and artists. The highlighting of volumes, the contrasts of shadow and light as well as the rigor of the drawing testify to a mastered know-how.
Framed in gilded wood.
Period: Probably late 19th - early 20th century, a time when the Beaux-Arts schools and architectural workshops still produced this type of study plates.
Drawing size 35 x 33.5
