The Flight of Cloelia

Jean-Honoré Fragonard, after Livio Mehus

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a figure riding a horse through a wooded area. The scene is depicted in a sketch-like style with fine lines and cross-hatching. The foreground features a horse and vegetation surrounds the figures. The contrast between light and dark areas in the image highlights the detailed textures and gives a sense of depth.
