"Study of the frieze from a pediment of the Parthenon (2)" is a notable drawing by Jacques Carrey, a French painter and draughtsman who is best known for his sketches of the Parthenon sculptures. Created in 1674, this work is part of a series of drawings that Carrey made during his visit to Athens, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. These drawings are of immense historical value as they represent the most extensive visual record of the Parthenon's sculptural decoration before it suffered significant damage in the 17th century, particularly during the Venetian siege of 1687 when a cannonball struck the Parthenon, leading to an explosion that severely damaged the structure.

Carrey's drawings are invaluable for the study of the Parthenon's art and architecture as they provide a snapshot of the friezes and pediments approximately a decade before their partial destruction. "Study of the frieze from a pediment of the Parthenon (2)" is particularly important as it captures details of the sculptures' composition, style, and condition that are no longer available for direct study. The work is a testament to Carrey's skill and attention to detail, offering scholars a reference point for the original arrangement and appearance of the Parthenon's sculptures.

The drawing is part of a larger collection of Carrey's works that are held in various institutions, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France. These sketches have been extensively studied and referenced by archaeologists, art historians, and conservationists working to understand and preserve the cultural heritage of the Parthenon. Carrey's drawings, including "Study of the frieze from a pediment of the Parthenon (2)," continue to be a subject of scholarly interest and are frequently cited in discussions about the impact of time, conflict, and preservation on ancient art and architecture.
