Ancient Greek Goddess Sketch

A highly detailed pencil sketch of a majestic ancient Greek goddess, likely Athena or Hera, seated on a stone throne. She wears a laurel wreath crown and a draped chiton with intricate folds. Her expression is serene and powerful, looking slightly upward to the right. To her left sits a large lion, its mane rendered in fine graphite strokes, resting calmly beside her. In her right hand, she holds a tall scepter topped with an eagle perched on a sphere. The background features faint architectural sketches of classical columns and foliage, blending into the paper texture. The artwork uses cross-hatching and soft shading techniques typical of academic realism.
