This drawing, *Solomon Receiving the Queen of Sheba*, by Cesare Rossetti depicts a scene from the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon. The scene depicts a grand interior with Solomon seated on a throne, receiving the Queen of Sheba and her entourage. Rossetti's drawing is notable for its attention to detail and its depiction of the figures in a realistic, yet dramatic, manner. The drawing is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to Rossetti's prominence as an artist during the Mannerist period in Italy.
