Kuras 1820

"Kuras," a detailed pencil drawing by Cécile Beauvallet from 1820, features a Roman cuirass adorned with intricate designs. The central panel depicts two winged figures in an intimate embrace, while the lower portion showcases a decorative band of stylized floral motifs. The work demonstrates Beauvallet's skill in capturing the precise detail of ancient armor and its symbolic significance. The surrounding imagery of a vase and a hunter with a boar further enhances the classical theme, suggesting a connection to the Roman tradition of hunting and warfare.
