This anonymous drawing, titled "Scene with Apollo? Orpheus?", depicts three figures in a landscape setting. The drawing's style and subject matter suggest it was created between 1600 and 1700, potentially referencing Classical mythology. The figures are loosely rendered, with the figure on the left appearing to be reclining while the figure on the right, possibly Apollo, stands with what appears to be a lyre. This drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring influence of classical themes in European art.
