Ganymede Feeding the Eagle

According to Greek mythology, the god Zeus fell in love with the beautiful youth Ganymede. Taking the form of an eagle, Zeus carried him to Mount Olympus, where he became a cup-bearer to the gods. The artist lived for many years in Rome and tried to imitate ancient wall paintings. He made this sketch in preparation for an experimental fresco.
