You see a group of men guiding horses, deer, dogs, goats, and guinea pigs toward the ark. Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione liked to draw animals. He often depicted the story of Noah's Ark. He was inspired by Rembrandt's etchings, which were not well-known in Italy at the time. Check out the work of Rembrandt to see more of the sketchy style that influenced Castiglione.
