This pen and ink drawing, *Aurora Riding in Her Chariot*, was created by Italian artist Andrea Appiani between 1754 and 1817. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Aurora, who personifies the dawn, riding in her chariot pulled by winged horses. The dynamic composition and expressive lines capture the energy of the goddess's celestial journey, a popular subject in Neoclassical art. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this work showcases Appiani's skill in capturing movement and conveying mythological themes.
