A winged woman has hoisted a young, muscular man up and across one shoulder in this freestanding bronze statue. In this view, the woman runs toward us, her back foot lifted, as she wraps her arms around the man’s thighs. She looks off to our left, her hair swept up. Long, narrow wings slice into the space behind her. Her chest and shoulders are covered with gold armor, and drapery swirls around her legs. The man is nearly nude, covered only with a cloth across his groin. His arms are flung wide, one reaching high in the air and the other holding a broken sword by the woman’s shoulder. His head lolls to one side, his lips parted. A laurel branch lies at the woman’s foot on a small mound textured like a rock. An inscription on the front rim of the base reads “GLORIA VICTIS.”

This is a drawing of an allegorical figure representing the Earth. The central focus is a robed figure holding a scepter and appearing contemplative. This figure is crowned with small fortifications. The background features mountainous terrain, a distant cityscape, and figures engaged in laborious activities such as mining or digging in a cave. A leafless tree stands to the left, and a tree with sparse leaves rises to the right. The drawing style is intricate, with detailed shading and line work. The text above the figure reads "TERRA."

The image shows two muscular, bearded men from the waist up, kneeling on one knee on opposite sides. The man on the left has shoulder-length curly hair and crossed arms in front of a stack of smoldering offerings. The man on the right has short curly hair, raising his arms towards the sky, near another stack of offerings emitting smoke and a group of sheep. Both men are unclothed in a natural setting with a large tree, distant hills, a sky with clouds, and rays of light highlighting the scene.

This is a drawing of a large, majestic winged figure emerging from clouds with a kneeling bearded figure extending a hand towards the first figure. The central figure is depicted with well-defined musculature and expansive wings, and the scene is set among dramatic clouds. At the lower right, the kneeling figure, dressed in draped garments, looks up with its hands clasped. The extensive use of shading and line work adds texture and volume, creating a dramatic interplay of light and shadow throughout the piece.

This is a drawing of two individuals struggling in a pastoral landscape. One figure is poised over another, clutching a bone with intent. The background shows rolling hills, trees, and billowing smoke from a rock formation, where what seems to be livestock is gathered. The cross-hatching and line work create depth and texture, while the poses of the figures add a dynamic energy to the composition.
