Centaur Carrying Off a Woman 

"Centaur Carrying Off a Woman" is a rapid pen-and-ink sketch by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his caricatures and social commentary. The sketch captures a dynamic moment of movement, depicting a centaur, a mythological creature with a human torso and a horse's body, abducting a woman. Daumier's loose lines and gestural strokes, characteristic of his style, give the drawing a sense of urgency and dynamism. This sketch, like many of Daumier's works, is likely a study for a larger composition, demonstrating his fascination with the human form and the exploration of mythological themes.
