Figure allégorique 

This charcoal drawing by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, a prominent Neoclassical artist, depicts an allegorical figure. The figure, likely a representation of a virtue or concept, is clothed in flowing drapery, with her arms raised and holding a scroll. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail in the folds of the drapery, the figure's anatomy, and the subtle shading of the charcoal creates a sense of depth and realism. This sketch highlights Prud’hon's mastery of the human form, his connection to the classical tradition, and his ability to convey symbolic ideas through his art.
