This pencil sketch by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen is a design for a monument. The drawing depicts a winged female figure, likely Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, astride a rearing horse. Thorvaldsen's work is characterized by its neoclassical style, which emphasizes simplicity, balance, and harmony. The sketch showcases the artist's meticulous planning and his interest in the classical tradition, elements that would define his later monumental works.
