"The Abduction of Ganymede" is a drawing by Cherubino Alberti, a prominent Italian artist of the late 16th century. The artwork depicts the mythological scene of the abduction of the Trojan prince Ganymede by Zeus, who disguised himself as an eagle. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, is executed in pen and brown ink on paper, showcasing Alberti's mastery of linework and anatomical detail. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger painting or fresco, illustrating the popularity of mythological subjects in Renaissance art.
