Allegorie op de sculptuur 1753 - 1790

This etching, titled "Allegory of Sculpture" by Giovanni David, is a beautiful example of Neoclassical art. It portrays a female figure, possibly representing the art of sculpture, standing beside a bust on a pedestal. Tools like chisels and a compass lie scattered on the ground, further emphasizing the theme of the artwork. The figure's flowing drapery and the bust's classical style underscore the Neoclassical influence. Created between 1753-1790, this work reflects a time of renewed interest in classical art and ideals.
