This drawing by John Gibson, a prominent English sculptor of the 19th century, depicts the mythical figure of Psyche being carried by a zephyr. Psyche, known for her beauty and soul, is portrayed as a young woman with flowing hair, while the zephyr, a gentle wind, is depicted as a winged creature carrying her aloft. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of ethereal movement, capturing the lightness and grace of the subject matter. Gibson's work often focused on classical themes and emphasized the beauty of the human form. This drawing is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of classical mythology through the medium of drawing.
