A Winged Figure, two Women, and a Man 1500 - 1570

"A Winged Figure, Two Women, and a Man" is a drawing by the Italian artist Biagio Pupini, created between 1500 and 1570. The artwork depicts four figures in various poses, with a winged figure standing to the left of the composition, a woman with long flowing hair to the right, a second woman wearing a veil in the center, and a man in a draped garment, in the far right of the scene. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, and the artist uses delicate lines to capture the form and movement of the figures. The work exemplifies the Renaissance interest in classical mythology and sculpture. This drawing is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a significant collection of Italian Renaissance art.
