(b. 1733, Paris, d. 1808, Paris)

Roman Figures in a Cave

1755-60
Oil on canvas, 45 x 72 cm
Private collection

The pair of paintings of identical size, Roman Figures under an Arcade and Roman Figures in a Cave, were executed by Robert during his stay in Rome. They recall the work of Pannini, one of Robert's teachers, in their subject matter and colourful, classically draped figures amongst Roman ruins.
