"Ancient Bas-Relief of Sleeping Hunter and Dog" is a 1775 drawing by English artist John Downman. Depicting a hunter asleep with his dog, the piece utilizes delicate lines and shading to create a sense of depth and realism. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the hunter's relaxed form contrasted by the alert posture of his canine companion. This study of classical themes and the human form is a fine example of Downman's versatility and skill in capturing nuanced expression in a realistic manner. The drawing is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
