Casts from Antique Sculpture: The Parthenon 1890 - 1891

This drawing by James Henry Moser (1854-1913) is a study of casts from antique sculptures. It depicts two figures, one seated and the other standing, likely based on Greek or Roman originals. The seated figure appears to be a depiction of a god or hero, while the standing figure is likely a representation of a young man. The artist has meticulously captured the details of the sculptures, including the musculature of the figures and the textures of their drapery. This drawing was likely made as part of the artist's academic training or as a study for a larger work.
