Allegorisk tegning 1809

"Allegorisk tegning," created in 1809 by Danish artist Joseph Bergler (II) (1753-1829), is an allegorical drawing currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork features two figures in a classical setting, likely representing the arts. The figure on the left, holding a branch of laurel, may symbolize literature or poetry, with the lyre at her feet. The figure on the right, placing a wreath on the urn, perhaps represents music, with the musical instruments at her feet. The overall composition and use of sepia tones contribute to the piece's Neoclassical aesthetic.
