Viller's contemporaries

A work made of etching in black on ivory laid paper.
A work made of oil on canvas.
Tomb with Sphinxes and an Owl, by Louis Jean Desprez, c. 1779–84
A work made of oil on canvas.
The image shows a sketch of an architectural scene with structures lining a road or pathway. The horizon is not clearly defined, and the sketch focuses on architectural details. The drawing features loose, freehand lines outlining buildings and trees, with classical elements like columns and entablatures. The color palette is monochromatic, with light parchment and dark ink strokes creating contrast. Close-up details are lightly shaded for depth, while distant details are less defined. The composition is open and airy, emphasizing architectural features over precision.
