Casts from Antique Sculpture: The Parthenon

James Henry Moser

National Gallery of Art

The artwork features two sculptures depicted in a black and white drawing. The upper sculpture portrays a seated figure from the side with emphasis on muscular build and draped clothing against a detailed bas-relief showing multiple figures. The seated figure appears relaxed but attentive. Below, another sculpture is illustrated, featuring a standing male figure on a small pedestal in a contrapposto stance with muscular definition. The drawing emphasizes contrast and shadow, presenting the sculptures in a classical style.
