De verjonging van Iolaüs (in doos met 43 tekeningen) 1703 - 1775

This is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Louis Fabritius Dubourg, depicting a scene from Greek mythology. The drawing, which measures 94mm by 104mm, is titled "De verjonging van Iolaüs" and depicts a scene where the goddess Hebe, who was responsible for the youth of the gods, is rejuvenating the aging Iolaus. Iolaus was the nephew of Hercules and a warrior, but had grown old and frail. Hebe, in this scene, is seated in the center, with Iolaus on the left and Hercules on the right, giving a sense of the passage of time and the mythical power of the gods. The artwork was created between 1703 and 1775 and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
