Odysseus' Ankunft bei den Phäaken_ Odysseus fleht Nausikaa um Hilfe an 

"Odysseus' Ankunft bei den Phäaken_ Odysseus fleht Nausikaa um Hilfe an" is a drawing by Du Ravet, currently housed at the Städel Museum. The drawing depicts a scene from Homer's Odyssey, where the shipwrecked Odysseus, appearing haggard and naked, pleads for help from Princess Nausicaa of Phaeacia. This sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, captures the moment of Odysseus's arrival, creating a sense of pathos and desperation, emphasizing the contrast between Odysseus's desperate state and Nausicaa's poised grace. The composition highlights the power of the narrative through the dynamic poses and expressive gestures of the figures. This drawing serves as a testament to the enduring influence of classical literature and mythology on art.
