| Claude Lorrain Study of an Antique Statue ca. 1630-35 drawing British Museum |
Claude Lorrain was prolific in drawings over a long career spent almost altogether in and around the city of Rome, but he seldom drew antique statues. In fact, his acknowledged weakness as an artist was figure-drawing. This fact gives the beautiful Claude drawing above an extra touch of significance, the statue-nature of the subject only half-indicated, as if the artist still might choose to represent it alive instead of inanimate.
