The figure of Orestes, standing draped 

This is a pencil sketch by French artist Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, renowned for his Neoclassical paintings. The sketch, titled "The figure of Orestes, standing draped," depicts the Greek mythological hero Orestes, a key figure in the Oresteia trilogy. The sketch captures the character in a moment of contemplation, with his arm raised and holding a spear. This study was likely made as a preliminary drawing for a larger work. Guérin’s work reflects the classical ideals of beauty, proportion, and order, prevalent during the Neoclassical period.
