Figures in Antique Dress Grouped About a Pagan Tomb 1736 - 1770

"Figures in Antique Dress Grouped About a Pagan Tomb" is a pen-and-brown ink drawing on paper by Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo. The artwork depicts a scene of figures in classical dress gathered around a tomb. The figures are drawn with loose, expressive strokes, suggesting a sense of movement and energy. The composition is dynamic and asymmetrical, with figures scattered throughout the scene. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting, and it reveals Tiepolo's skill as a draftsman. The work is a beautiful example of 18th-century Venetian Rococo art.
