About this work
This watercolor and pencil drawing presents a design for a gilded sword hilt with a central figure relief, a crest, and jewel-like inset stones, shown alongside matching scabbard mounts, belt rings, and oval plaques. The ornate rococo-style scrollwork and laurel details are rendered in golden tones against a pale ground.
