Melancholy

Nicolas-François Chifflart

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a crying woman in ancient garb sitting on steps. She sits facing right, her head on her right arm which rests on her knee. Her left arm extends towards the bottom of the image holding a broken horn. Two men on horseback with swords raised are behind her and a crowd of people is in the background. A building with columns is to their right.
