"Standing Allegorical Figure with Caduceus (Peace?)" is a pen and ink drawing by John Michael Rysbrack, a renowned sculptor known for his work in England during the 18th century. The drawing depicts an allegorical figure, likely representing Peace, standing with her right hand raised and holding a caduceus, a staff entwined with snakes, which is a symbol of peace and healing. The figure's drapery is rendered with great detail and a sense of movement. The drawing is a testament to Rysbrack's skill as a draftsman and his understanding of classical art.
