18th Century French School, Mythological Scene With A Couple, Pen And Brown Ink

French school 18th Century, 
A mytholological scene with a couple, 
Pen and brown ink, brown ink wash on paper
11.5 x 11.5 cm, diameter of the main scene : 10,5 cm
in a modern frame under glass : 33.5 x 33.5 cm

This drawing by a particularly talented 18th-century artist - as yet unidentified - is notable for its mastery of pen and wash. It has all the elegance of the French masters of the period, with a great deal of energy in its execution.
The subject is also enigmatic. We can think of the union of the couple on the right. Above them is the goddess Athena in her helmet. The winged figure on the left with a lighted torch is traditionally an allegory of love. Finally, in the background, we can make out tents reminiscent of a military camp.
In any case, it is a mythological or possibly literary scene, the exact title of which has yet to be identified.
This type of work highlighted the culture of the artist and the owner who was able to recognise it.
This is the classical culture of this refined era.
