Neptun mit seinem Gespann sowie Dädalus und der Fall des Ikarus 

This pen-and-ink drawing by Antonio Carracci depicts a scene from Greek mythology featuring Neptune, the god of the sea, riding a seashell drawn by seahorses. The artist’s detailed rendering of the sea god, his powerful stance, and the dynamic depiction of the seahorses illustrate Carracci’s mastery of line work and composition. In the upper right corner, Icarus falls from the sky after flying too close to the sun, while Daedalus, his father, witnesses the tragedy. The depiction of this myth, a cautionary tale about ambition, adds depth and complexity to the scene. The drawing is attributed to Carracci's early period and is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing movement and emotion.
