New Illustrations

Earlier in the summer I was asked to do a series of illustrations for a short book on classical education co-written by my brother and a colleague of ours. I did six images in pen and ink. Lots of cross hatching here. This first image is of "Pius Aeneas". This is the scene in the Illiad where Aeneas dutifully carries his aged father to safety as the strong-greaved Achaians sack Troy.
