Zeegod op een dolfijn 1780 - 1849

"Zeegod op een dolfijn" is a pen and wash drawing created by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville between 1780 and 1849, now located in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a winged god riding atop a dolphin in a dynamic, almost theatrical pose. The use of light washes to define form and detail creates a sense of movement and ethereal beauty, characteristic of Superville's artistic style. This artwork is a testament to the artist's fascination with classical mythology and his ability to capture the essence of the divine through skilled draftsmanship.
