Hendrick Goltzius

Cleveland Museum of Art

Oval-shaped image in shades of gray. A nude man with long hair and a cloth flowing behind him stands on the left side of a chariot. He holds a torch-like object with a flame at the top in his right hand. The chariot has large wheels with spokes and a decorative body. A bearded man sits in the chariot holding a book and a horn-like object. A bird, possibly an owl or eagle, sits on top of the chariot. Several bats are flying around the lower left side. The background features cloudy, wavy lines.
