Object description :

"Italian School, Ca. 1810, The Rape Of The Sabine Women (study)"

ITALIAN SCHOOL, ca. 1810
THE RAPE OF THE SABINE WOMEN (STUDY)

Black chalk (crayon noir) on paper, signed lower right J. Pazzi (?)
25.5 × 20 cm / 10 × 7.9 in
framed without glass: 33.5 × 27 cm / 13.2 × 10.6 in

This finely observed drawing represents the abduction of a Sabine woman — a subject deeply rooted in the Neoclassical repertoire of the early nineteenth century. Executed with confident, economical lines, it may have served as a preparatory study for a larger composition. An excellent example of Italian academic draftsmanship of the period.

Provenance: Vienna, private collection
