Felice Giani, Italian, 1758–1823 · 1802–05
Two lunette shaped drawings on one irregular sheet. In upper drawing, the figure of Achilles, driving a horse-drawn chariot, drags the body of Hector around city of Troy. In lower drawing, Priam, in the tent of Achilles, kneels before Achilles and kisses his right hand; some warriors watch the scene and others look at Priam's gifts.
