Fame on a Trophy of Arms

Jean Lepautre

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a winged figure with a trumpet surrounded by ornamental elements. The central character appears to be a classical figure. It stands, framed by intricately drawn acanthus leaves and scrolls. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, with drapery that clings to the body. The base upon which the figure stands includes various symbolic items and motifs, such as a shield, books, and a lion's mask.
