This is a decorative drawing by French artist Pierre Philippe, created in the late 17th century. It features a central cartouche framed by draped fabric held aloft by two female figures. The design is ornate with theatrical masks, flowers, and skulls, highlighting a dramatic and theatrical theme. The drawing is likely intended for use as a decorative design for a theatrical performance or print. The design is characteristic of the Rococo style, with its playful use of asymmetry, elaborate ornamentation, and emphasis on the graceful and elegant.
