The Three Horatii

Antoine Jacquard

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative circular emblem containing a group of figures in a historical setting. The artwork presents a central scene confined within an ornate circular frame. The detailed etching depicts several armored figures. The figures appear to be engaged in conversation or confrontation. Symmetrically positioned are more people, possibly soldiers or retainers. The edges are detailed with floral and scrollwork embellishments, including a dramatic motif of a face with wings at the bottom.
