Giovanni Battista Foggini's "Galatea on her Chariot drawn by Dolphins" is a delicate drawing of a nude woman, Galatea, riding on the back of a dolphin. The work is a preparatory study for a larger sculpture, created in 1652-1725. The artist's precise lines and detailed rendering of the figure and waves make this a masterful example of Baroque art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this drawing, showcasing the artist's skilled craftsmanship in creating such dynamic scenes.
