Ontwerp voor een fauteuil met armsteunen in de vorm van sfinxen

Jean Démosthène Dugourc's "Ontwerp voor een fauteuil met armsteunen in de vorm van sfinxen" (Design for a Fauteuil with Armrests in the Form of Sphinxes), created circa 1784, is a design drawing executed on tracing paper using ink. The work presents a side view of an ornate armchair, characterized by its distinct sphinx-shaped armrests. The chair features a richly upholstered seat in pink, with intricate detailing visible on the armrests and legs, suggesting a blend of classical and neoclassical design elements. The composition is enhanced by a subtle, textured background, highlighting the elegance of the furniture piece. This drawing serves as a testament to the decorative arts of the late 18th century, reflecting fashion trends of that era in furniture design.
