This is a line drawing titled "To Phoebus at His Birth, from Aeschylus, Furies" created by English artist John Flaxman. The artwork is likely from a series of drawings illustrating scenes from the Greek playwright Aeschylus’ play, “The Furies.” The drawing depicts a woman reclining on a couch while a woman standing in front of her holds a musical instrument. A winged figure is seen hovering over the reclining woman, and another child-like figure is seated beside the reclining figure. This drawing demonstrates Flaxman's Neoclassical style, which was heavily influenced by classical Greek art.
