Mars Seated on Trophies

Léon Davent after Francesco Primaticcio

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a reclining figure in a classical setting. The drawing depicts a figure lying with a relaxed posture, draped in flowing garments that are intricately detailed with lines and shading. The figure wears a helmet adorned with a plume and holds an object in one hand. Architectural elements are present, such as a rolled structure resembling a scroll or column at the figure's side. The figure's legs are extended, with one knee bent. The entire scene is framed within an arched border.
