Het opladen van de jachtbuit door de nimfen van Diana 1611 - 1616

This drawing by Peter Paul Rubens, titled "Het opladen van de jachtbuit door de nimfen van Diana," depicts a scene of Diana's nymphs carrying the spoils of a hunt. The sketch, dated between 1611 and 1616, demonstrates Rubens' masterful understanding of the human form, as he captures the movement and energy of the figures through fluid lines and dynamic poses. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting, demonstrating the artist's process of developing his compositions. The piece, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rubens' renowned skill in depicting both classical mythology and the human body.
