This pen and wash drawing by Louis Fabritius Dubourg, dated c. 1703-1775, depicts a design for a vignette featuring two angels. The larger angel, likely representing Fame, holds a banderol, or scroll, that is held in place by a smaller angel who is playing a trumpet. The drawing is characteristic of Dubourg's work, which often featured allegorical figures and mythological themes. The drawing is small, measuring only 61 mm high and 93 mm wide, and it is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The delicate use of pen and wash lends a sense of lightness and movement to the drawing, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
