Book of Fountains: No. 2

Gabriel Huquier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing on aged paper. A large scallop shell serves as a canopy for three nude figures. Two smaller figures sit on a shell shaped fountain. The figure on the left has their right arm outstretched and their left bent at the elbow, palm up. The figure on the right is leaning on their left arm. A larger figure stands behind the shell and has their arms outstretched holding the drapes of the canopy. A curtain of water falls from the shell. The background shows foliage. The paper is tan with darker spots and a rough edge.
