An Ornamental Trophy

Gravelot used graphite and incised transfer techniques to create the drawing, allowing for the design to be copied onto other surfaces. The use of light pencil lines is typical of designs intended for transfer.

Gravelot introduced the Rococo style to British design, influencing decorative arts through his work as a book illustrator, drawing-master, and engraver. He worked in London from 1732, producing designs that were used in luxury goods.
