Claude Jean-Baptiste Hoin's "An Artist Adoring a Statue of Virtue" (1783) is a French Neoclassical drawing. The artist, seen kneeling in the foreground, gazes upwards at a winged allegorical figure representing virtue, who holds a wreath and stands atop a pedestal. The artist's tools and a dog lie at his feet, indicating his devotion to his craft. This drawing exemplifies the Neoclassical movement's emphasis on classical ideals, reason, and virtue. It is currently housed in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
