Allegori med figurer 1788

This 1788 drawing by Danish artist Peter Leonhard Gianelli, titled "Allegori med figurer," depicts a scene with numerous figures in classical dress. The figures, rendered in delicate sepia tones, appear to be engaged in a conversation or perhaps an exchange of gifts. The overall composition, with its focus on the figures and minimal background, suggests a Neoclassical aesthetic. This small, intimate drawing, which measures just 137mm by 216mm, can be found at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. It's a captivating glimpse into Gianelli's artistic style and his interest in classical themes.
