Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827) (attributed)

Profile Heads of the Plutarch Ideals
Pen and wash

A lively sheet of idealised classical busts showing Rowlandson's unmistakable line and wit applied to the noble figures of antiquity. The heads of Solon, Marcellus, Aristides, Numa Pompilius, Dion, Nicias, Theseus, Flamininus, Marcus Crassus, Lycurgus, Romulus, Alcibiades, Aratus, Brutus and Cicero reflect the eighteenth century fascination with moral exemplars and the aesthetics of the antique.

Height: 300mm Width: 235mm
