This drawing, titled "Sketches of Mythological Subjects," is an example of study drawings done by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Cipriani in the late 18th century. The sketch is composed of several figures in various poses, suggesting that they were studies for a larger painting. The loose lines of the sketch and the focus on figure drawing suggests that this is a preparatory work for a painting with a mythological subject, potentially depicting Greek or Roman gods. The artwork is part of the collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.
