Diana in Her Chariot n.d.

"Diana in Her Chariot," a pen and brown wash drawing by Joseph François Parrocel, depicts the Roman goddess of the hunt, Diana, riding in a chariot pulled by two stags. The drawing, housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a study for a larger painting, capturing the energy and movement of the scene through the use of dynamic lines and shading. Parrocel, a French artist, was known for his historical and mythological paintings, capturing the spirit of the ancient world in his work. The drawing's delicate lines and expressive use of wash create a sense of movement and drama, highlighting Diana's strength and grace.
