"Cassandra" is a dramatic black and white drawing created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The artwork features a scene from Greek mythology where Cassandra, a Trojan princess, is being led away by soldiers after having prophesied the destruction of Troy, a fate that was ultimately ignored. The artist uses the Pre-Raphaelite style with sharp detail in both the figures and the setting, making the scene even more dramatic and sorrowful. While the drawing is in a private collection, art lovers can find more information about this famous piece in museums and online.
