Diogenes and His Cup

Salvator Rosa

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man throwing a cup into a tree. The man stands in a forest surrounded by four other people; one on the left with their back turned, wearing a robe and head covering; another to the left wearing a robe and holding what appears to be a jug; a third on the left, partially obscured, wearing a hat; and a fourth person sitting on a block on the right. The man holding the cup has short hair and is wearing a robe; on the right, a young man lies on the ground, looking up at a cup lodged in the branches of a tree. There are trees behind them, one with several trunks. There is a plant at the bottom right. The sky is visible through the trees. Text appears at the bottom.
