Flight of Meriones, with Dead Coeranos Being Dragged from the Chariot

after Giulio Romano

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring a chariot and multiple figures engaged in dynamic action. The chariot is pulled by horses, with swirling garments on the figures and flowing mane and muscles on the horses. The figures display expressive gestures, with one figure holding a smaller one. They are positioned around the chariot, seemingly involved in dramatic interaction. The drawing employs ink to emphasize movements and expressions, adding depth and drama to the scene.
