Twee voetstukken met medaillon en tablet 1772 - 1779

This is a detailed drawing by Jean Pelletier, dating from 1772 - 1779. It depicts two different designs for pedestals, or bases, for sculptures. Both feature intricate decorative elements including a round medallion in the top design, and a rectangular tablet in the lower one, along with swags, garlands, and other architectural motifs. The drawing is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic refinement of the period. These designs would have been used in the creation of monumental sculptures, highlighting the significance of the art form in 18th-century Europe. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
