Gabriel de Saint-Aubin’s 1767 drawing *Pandora* portrays the titular figure from Greek mythology, a beautiful woman in a flowing drapery, standing on a plinth. The drawing, created using black and brown ink washes on paper, is characterized by Saint-Aubin’s loose, expressive style. This piece highlights the artistic skill of the Rococo-era artist, known for his delicate and elegant works. *Pandora* is a reminder of the enduring power of classical mythology in art and its ongoing influence on artists throughout history.
