Military Cavaliers Entering Town Accompanied by a Turbaned Torch-bearer. In the foreground: Two Seated Women and a Child (recto); Several Cooks, and Two Pages with a Platter in a Kitchen Yard (verso) 1703 - 1766

This 18th-century drawing by Corrado Giaquinto depicts a scene of military figures on horseback entering a town. The composition is characterized by a delicate use of line, typical of the artist's draftsmanship, with the horsemen and a torch-bearer in the background, and three figures seated in the foreground. The subject matter, likely a historical scene, is rendered with a sense of movement and dramatic gesture, reflecting the artistic trends of the time. This drawing, created in the final years of Giaquinto's life, is a testament to his skill in depicting scenes of grand spectacle and historical narratives.
