Achilles Yields Briseis

A pen and brown ink drawing shows a seated, bare-chested warrior on the left gesturing toward a group of standing figures beneath draped curtains. A helmeted man and a woman in flowing robes stand at center, with a bearded older man holding a staff on the right. Hatched shading gives depth to the tent setting.
