"Thalia, Clio, and Melpomene" is a drawing by Giovanni Battista Cipriani depicting the three muses of comedy, history, and tragedy, respectively. Thalia, the muse of comedy, is depicted holding a theatrical mask and a trumpet, Clio, the muse of history, is holding a scroll, and Melpomene, the muse of tragedy, is holding a dagger and a wreath of laurel. The drawing is a study in the art of line and gesture, capturing the dynamic and emotive figures of the muses.
