Design for sculpted angeli 1700 - 1780

This anonymous 18th-century red chalk drawing, "Design for Sculpted Angeli," showcases two angels, each perched on a elaborately carved bracket. The design, likely intended for a larger architectural project, exemplifies the Rococo style with its delicate, asymmetrical ornamentation. The angels' pose and the intricate detail of the brackets demonstrate the artist's keen understanding of both human anatomy and decorative design. While the artist remains unidentified, the drawing offers valuable insight into the artistic practices of the period.
