The Embarkation of Aeneas from the Ceraunian Headland
This is a drawing of multiple figures in dynamic poses. The lines are fluid and convey motion. The central figure appears to be supported by others, while additional figures surround them. The sketchy lines suggest a preliminary study. The figures' proportions and postures show an understanding of anatomy and movement. The background includes architectural elements. Shading and hatching add depth to the figures.
