This dynamic drawing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard depicts the arrival of Orlando and Angelica at Charlemagne’s camp. The artist's expressive use of line captures the movement of the figures, particularly the dramatic pose of Orlando as he rides his steed. The swirling forms above suggest a celestial presence, adding a sense of grandeur to the scene. The drawing's loose and gestural quality demonstrates Fragonard's skill in capturing the essence of a moment in a highly evocative manner.
