Chariot Drawn by Lions with Amorini (recto)
The drawing depicts a chariot being drawn by two lions to the right. The chariot has a wheel visible and a rectangular body with a decorative edge. A winged figure, likely an amorino or cherub, sits on the chariot, holding onto one of the lions. Several other amorini are present to the left, some playing musical instruments such as drums and a panpipe. The drawing is rendered in light brown pencil on tan paper, with visible creases down the center. The figures are mostly nude. The amorini have wings and curly hair. The lions have thick manes. The overall composition is dynamic, with the figures and animals in motion.
