From ancient Greek mythology, a pencil study for my upcoming Judgment of Paris. Tricked by Zeus into judging who is the most beautiful goddess, the Trojan prince Paris awards the prize -- a golden apple etched Property of the Fairest -- to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty (incurring the unending wrath of runners-up Hera and Athena).
