Design for a Decorative Panel 1787 - 1808

This intricate design for a decorative panel by Jean Démosthène Dugourc, dating from 1787-1808, is a testament to the Neoclassical style. The panel features a central figure of a woman, likely a goddess, seated on a globe surrounded by allegorical figures and motifs. The overall composition is symmetrical and balanced, with a rich use of geometric shapes, floral patterns, and decorative elements. The panel is meant to be decorative in nature and exemplifies the interest in classical antiquity and ordered design that characterized the Neoclassical period.
