This drawing by Italian artist Orazio Samacchini, dating to the late 16th century, depicts a seated figure in armor, likely King David, with two angels above him. The piece, created using black chalk on paper, demonstrates Samacchini's masterful use of line and shading, capturing the figure's form and the flowing drapery of the angels with remarkable detail. The piece is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the Renaissance.
