Hippomenes and Atalanta 

"Hippomenes and Atalanta" is a red chalk drawing by Nicolas Poussin, a prominent French Baroque painter. The drawing depicts the Greek myth of Hippomenes, a young man who wins the hand of Atalanta, a skilled huntress, by outsmarting her in a footrace. While the figures are drawn in a simple style, the artist's characteristic focus on the human form is still present, emphasizing the dynamic movement of the figures. This drawing is a prime example of Poussin's preparatory work, and it offers a glimpse into his creative process. The work is housed in the Städel Museum.
