Simone Cantarini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Quos Ego by Simone Cantarini: A black and white drawing depicting a scene with several figures. In the center, a man rides a horse. The man has long hair and holds a whip in his right hand. The horse is dark colored with a long mane and tail, rearing up on its hind legs. To the left, a nude male figure stands on a rock or platform, holding a stick or spear in his right hand and reaching up with his left hand. Above him, an eagle flies. On the right side, another nude male figure stands in the water, holding a trident in his right hand. A group of small figures are behind him. In the background, a cloudy sky with several figures sitting on clouds.
