A Winged Putto Riding a Sea Horse and a Lion (after Raphael); verso; The Three Graces (after Raphael) 1574

This drawing, created by Denijs Calvaert in 1574, depicts a winged putto riding a seahorse and a lion. The artist was known for his meticulous drawings and his ability to capture the human form with great precision. This particular drawing is a copy of a work by Raphael, and it showcases Calvaert's skill in reproducing the style of his predecessors. The drawing is executed in black chalk on a sheet of paper, and the artist's use of shading creates a sense of depth and volume. This drawing, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Calvaert's talent as a draftsman and his ability to pay homage to the great masters of the Renaissance.
