Casts from Antique Sculpture: The Parthenon

James Henry Moser

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two drawn sculptures. One sculpture is of a reclining figure resting on a decorative frieze with figures in low relief along the background. The second sculpture is of a standing nude male figure, posed with one arm slightly raised and the other relaxed beside his body. The sketches are in monochrome, resembling stone sculptures, showcasing detailed human forms.
