The Chariot of Diana

Agostino dei Musi after Luca Penni

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a chariot pulled by a pair of animals flying through the clouds. The chariot is elaborately decorated with intricate designs and winged wheels. The animals resemble dogs or wolves. Three figures inside the chariot wear classical garments, with one seemingly guiding the animals. A large sun is depicted behind them, radiating rays outward. Fluffy clouds surround the chariot and figures, giving the impression of elevation. Below is a landscape with a town, buildings, towers, and a winding river. The image is framed in an oval format and has detailed line work and shading.
