Satyr Leading a Centaur, Who Carries a Club, Bow and Quiver, Outside the Walls of a City c. 1771 - 1791

This drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a noted Venetian artist, depicts a satyr chasing a centaur who is carrying a club, bow and quiver. The scene takes place outside the walls of a city, emphasizing the centaur's flight from the satyr's pursuit. Tiepolo's drawing, completed between 1771 and 1791, is characteristic of his later works, with its dynamic composition and emphasis on the fleeting moment. The artist's signature use of light and shadow highlights the figures' anatomy and the intensity of the chase.
