Design for Panel Decoration 1828 - 1840

J. Hulme’s "Design for Panel Decoration" (1828-1840) is a detailed pencil drawing featuring a central female figure flanked by winged creatures, all framed by intricate floral and vegetal motifs. The design’s delicate and flowing lines, reminiscent of the Rococo style, showcase the artist’s skilled hand in crafting a decorative composition ideal for panel adornment. This drawing, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, serves as a testament to Hulme’s talent for blending Classical and Romantic elements in his artistic expressions.
