This is a drawing by Dutch artist Jacob de Wit. De Wit (1695-1754) was known for his ceiling frescoes and drawings, which often depict scenes of classical mythology. The drawing shows figures, likely geniuses and bacchantes, floating amidst the clouds in a light, feathery composition, suggesting a ceiling decoration. The work's delicate lines and wash of colors make it a fine example of de Wit's elegant style. The artist is known for his ability to capture movement and expression in his figures, and this drawing is no exception.
