"Bust of Apollo" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist who lived from 1695 to 1754. The drawing, now in the Städel Museum, depicts the Greek god Apollo in profile, wearing a laurel wreath and with his body partially draped in fabric. The artist's meticulous use of hatching and shading gives a sense of volume and detail to the bust, creating a realistic portrayal of the god. This drawing is a fine example of de Wit's work, which is often characterized by its meticulous draftsmanship and classicist themes.
