Triumph of Love (after antique bas-relief) n.d.

Pompeo Batoni’s “Triumph of Love (after antique bas-relief)” is a red chalk drawing depicting a classical scene of the triumph of love, inspired by an antique bas-relief. The drawing shows a group of figures including Cupid, with a flowing drapery, and a standing female figure holding a wreath, both figures seemingly flying in the clouds, and a seated figure resting on a chariot. The drawing is a fine example of Batoni's Neoclassical style, which was characterized by a focus on classical themes and motifs.
