This black chalk drawing by Stefano Pozzi depicts the mythological scene of Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, abducting Orithyia, the daughter of the Athenian king. The dynamic composition showcases Boreas's powerful presence as he sweeps Orithyia away, her body contorted in resistance. Pozzi's loose, gestural lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and energy, capturing the dramatic nature of the event. This drawing is a testament to Pozzi's talent for capturing the human form in motion and his mastery of the black chalk medium.
