"Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite," a 1706 - 1707 drawing by Louis de Boullongne, the younger, depicts the Roman god of the sea, Neptune, and his consort, Amphitrite, riding in a chariot drawn by seahorses. The drawing is a preparatory sketch for a larger, more elaborate composition, likely a painting or tapestry. This intricate artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing movement and conveying the dynamism of the sea, as seen in the swirling lines and dynamic poses of the figures and sea creatures.
