This 1795 line drawing by John Flaxman illustrates a scene from Homer's *Iliad*. The artwork, titled *Illustration to the Iliad*, depicts a scene of mourning with a woman weeping over a slain warrior. The scene portrays the strong emotions of grief and despair as shown by the woman's body language. Flaxman's distinct neoclassical style is evident in the figures' idealized proportions and simple, flowing lines. This artwork would be of interest to art lovers and those interested in the *Iliad*.
