Diana and the Endymion n.d.

This anonymous drawing, "Diana and the Endymion," depicts the Roman goddess Diana, adorned with a crescent moon, standing over the sleeping shepherd Endymion. Diana is depicted with a flowing robe, offering berries to Endymion who lays beneath a tree, with two dogs at his feet. The artist’s delicate lines and careful shading create a sense of depth and movement, making this a masterful example of drawing from the Renaissance. This intimate scene, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the enduring popularity of the Diana and Endymion myth in art.
