A superb original drawing with skilled use of the nuanced, representing the mythological scene of the rat of sabines or the proserpina's kidnapping. Although the tragic mood, the scene has something of idyllic and sugarcoated, in the typical neoclassical style. A virtousic use of the light and shadows presents a wide gradient of tones and a balanced composition that demonstrates a great sensibility near to that of photographers. A really pleasant old master's artwork, in very good conditions, except for foxing on the margins and some minor stains and yellow stripes on the right margin, some defect do not affect the image that has preserved its beauty.
