Lyre de pithagore before 1828

"Lyre de Pithagore" is a design for a lyre by Pierre Félix van Doren, created before 1828. The drawing depicts a circular outline of a lyre, with intricate details of ribbons, a central structure and a floral design on top. This work exemplifies the Neoclassical aesthetic, with its emphasis on classical motifs and proportions. The inscription "Lyre de Pithagore" suggests a connection to the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, who was believed to be a skilled musician.
