Apollo Entrusting Chiron with the Education of Asclepius

Workshop of Hendrick Goltzius, after Hendrick Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a centaur presenting a child to a standing figure. The image depicts a mythical scene with the centaur extending an arm towards the human figure who is holding the child. The scene is set in a natural environment with trees in the background and a building to the side. The composition shows rich texture and detailed anatomy of the figures, created through cross-hatching.
