The Triumph of Marriage

Claude Gillot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene depicting a chariot being pulled by lions. The drawing is detailed with fine lines and shading. In the center, a chariot with decorated wheels is being drawn by lions. Two figures are in the chariot. Surrounding the scene are trees with foliage and small winged figures posed dynamically on the trees. The overall style is classical or mythological, with detailed mythical creatures and sophisticated line work reminiscent of baroque or renaissance influences.
