This pen and ink drawing by James Barry, titled "Antique Mosaic in the Barberini Palace," depicts a scene from classical mythology. Created sometime between 1741 and 1806, the drawing features a series of figures in various poses. Barry, a prominent artist of the 18th century, was known for his grand historical paintings and his commitment to Neoclassicism. The drawing’s detailed lines and careful rendering of the figures are characteristic of Barry’s meticulous style. The inclusion of the inscription "A Mosaic Antique in the Villa Barberini" suggests that Barry was inspired by a real-life mosaic artwork.
