French early 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of allegorical figures around a wheel, with two figures below holding a heart. The image depicts four figures surrounding a large wheel near the top of the composition. Two figures are holding the wheel, while another figure labeled "ANIMVS" stands between them, with a balance scale on his chest. Below them, two figures stand facing each other, connected by a large heart they both hold. The word "Amici" is inscribed beneath the heart. The drawing uses fine lines to create details and shading.
