    Very fine ink wash dated 1801, based on Jean Baptiste Regnault's L'éducation d'Achille par le centaure Chiron.
    Very fine quality of execution.
    Probably framed in the late 19th or early 20th century.

    The original work, painted in 1782, is in the Louvre, Salle 702 (Salle Daru).

    A little Mythology:
    Achilles is entrusted by his mother Thetis to the centaur warrior Chiron from an early age.
    Chiron educates him, teaching him to hunt and to become a skilled horseman. Then he taught him the art of weapons: sword, javelin, shield and unarmed combat.
    In addition to the arts of war, Chiron taught Achilles the more peaceful arts of music, herbal medicine and eloquence.
    Achilles will go down in mythological history as the greatest warrior of all time.

    Dimensions: 56 cm / 43 cm
    Good condition.
