Lier before 1828

This drawing by Pierre Félix van Doren depicts a lyre, a stringed musical instrument associated with ancient Greek mythology, often linked to the god Apollo. The lyre is adorned with ribbons and flowers, a common motif in decorative art of the period. The design may have been intended for a decorative object, such as a piece of jewelry or a plate, reflecting the artist's interest in classical themes and motifs.
