Mythologisch-historische scene 1765 - 1799

"Mythologisch-historische scene" is an etching by Jean Matthias Royer from the late 18th century. The print depicts a dramatic scene with several figures, likely from a mythological or historical narrative. The central figures are locked in a struggle, while others react around them. Royer's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Neoclassical style etchings. This small-scale work, measuring only 117 mm by 173 mm, demonstrates Royer's skill in depicting complex narratives within a limited space.
