This drawing, created between 1743 and 1809 by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, depicts a frieze featuring a chariot pulled by lions. The frieze is likely inspired by classical Roman art, with the use of lions as symbols of power and strength. Abildgaard, a prominent figure in Danish Neoclassicism, captured the grandeur and detail of the frieze with his precise penmanship and use of light and shadow. This small but intricate drawing exemplifies the artist's mastery of line and composition, showcasing his keen eye for classical imagery and his dedication to meticulous detail.
