Agamemnon's Fight with Achilles. Baptismal Font, Bertel Thorvaldsen, 1770-1844, 1804, Drawing, The principal motif in this drawing is made with many tentative lines and is drawn within a rectangle, but it was never turned into a relief. The sketch for a font in the shape of a vase on a profiled base, on the other hand, was reworked in 1808-15 into a font in the form of a solid block decorated with reliefs on all four sides. Both the Homeric and the ecclesiastical range of motifs found approval in Herman Schubart
