Cupid Astride an Eagle n.d.

Giulio Romano's "Cupid Astride an Eagle" is a pen and ink drawing depicting the Roman god of love, Cupid, riding atop an eagle. The drawing, likely a preparatory study, displays Romano's mastery of anatomy and draughtsmanship, exemplified by the detailed rendering of Cupid's figure and the eagle's plumage. This work is a testament to the artist's artistic skill and a fascinating glimpse into his creative process. The drawing is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and is an important example of Romano's work in the 16th century.
