"Two Studies of Lyres After the Antique" is a dual study of ancient Grecian lyres, authored by esteemed neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David (174–1825). This artwork showcases David's proficiency in rendering both still-life objects and his commitment to classical ideals, indicative of his renowned Neoclassical style. While the exact date of the composition is unknown, it is assumed to have been created during his time as an active painter, between 1780 to 1799.

The delicate sketch, rendered in sepia tones, highlights two distinct structures of lyres, a musical instrument of significant symbolic importance in Ancient Greek culture. The studies' precise detailing and careful rendering of the two lyres testify to David's dedication to studying and depicting objects as accurately as possible. By focusing on the ancient instrument, David aligns not merely with antiquity's mythology and aesthetics, but also with its music, hinting at the multifaceted nature of Neoclassical intellectual engagement.

While the artwork does not showcase the striking compositions or dramatic lighting often associated with David's grander narrative paintings, it provides insight into the artist's process and practices. The work's relatively simplified composition and meticulous detailing suggest a focus on understanding and replicating the aesthetics of the classical past. Even as a minor work in his oeuvre, "Two Studies of Lyres After the Antique" is a testament to David's skill, observational abilities, and steadfast dedication to the principles of Neoclassicism. This artwork stands as an informative artifact shedding light on the practices of one of the most influential figures in the Neoclassical era.
