"Illustraties met figuurcomposities" (1706-1722) by Gilbert Schoute is an etching that features two distinct scenes within a classical architectural setting. The upper scene depicts three women, two standing and one seated, in a formal garden with a tree and architectural elements. The lower scene features six individuals, five standing and one seated, in a similar setting with a column and trees. The figures are stylized and the composition is balanced, suggesting a focus on composition and classical artistic principles. The work exemplifies the practice of figure composition, a popular subject in art history.
