Allegorie op Theresia van Ávila 1845

"Allegorie op Theresia van Ávila" is an 1845 drawing by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig, a Belgian artist known for his meticulous detail and mastery of Neoclassical style. The artwork depicts a grand, allegorical design featuring a central urn flanked by cherubs and supported by a richly ornamented pedestal. The ornate design is reminiscent of Baroque and Rococo periods, emphasizing grandeur and elaborate ornamentation. Linnig's skillful use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and volume, making the design appear three-dimensional. This intricate drawing, crafted in pencil on paper, likely served as a preliminary study for a larger scale project or a decorative element in a broader artwork.
