"Helena's Embarkment," a drawing by Ambroise Dubois, depicts a scene of departure, likely based on a historical event or a mythological tale. The composition features a group of figures loading a ship, with the focus on a central figure who appears to be pushing away from the shore. The scene is rendered in brown ink on paper, with a sense of dynamism and detail. The artwork's historical context and specific narrative remain elusive, but the artist's meticulous depiction suggests a careful observation of the human form and movement. The drawing is now housed in the Städel Museum, providing a glimpse into the artistic practice of 16th-century Europe.
