This drawing by Italian Renaissance artist Ugo da Carpi, created between 1502-1532, depicts the mythical figure Marsyas discovering Minerva's pan flute. The artist is known for his work in chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark, giving the drawing a sense of depth and dimension. The figure of Marsyas is rendered with a strong sense of realism, capturing the detail of his muscled body and the expression on his face. The drawing is framed in a circular format, which adds to the composition's classic feel. This drawing is a testament to Carpi's skill and his understanding of the human form.
