"Atlantis" is a red chalk drawing by the French sculptor Jean Goujon, dating from the 16th century. It features two standing male figures, each depicted from the waist up, showcasing Goujon's mastery of anatomical detail and the human form. The figures appear to be mythological creatures, possibly satyrs or fauns, due to their goat-like legs and horns. This drawing likely served as a preparatory study for one of Goujon's sculptures, reflecting his interest in the classical tradition.
