Ontwerp voor een zaalstuk: standbeeld van zintuig Reuk, daarnaast een vrouw en kind met bloemen 1715 - 1798

This watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Dionys van Nijmegen, created between 1715 and 1798, is a design for a monumental sculpture featuring the sense of smell. It depicts a classical female figure holding a cornucopia in a garden setting, with a woman and child holding flowers and a putto with a vase in the foreground. The drawing is framed by a simple rectangular border and incorporates delicate details of flowers and foliage, characteristic of van Nijmegen's style. The design showcases the artist's ability to combine classical motifs with a naturalistic approach, creating a harmonious and evocative scene. The artwork, which remains undated, showcases the artistic trends of the 18th century, where classical art was revived and integrated with contemporary artistic practices.
