Allegorical female figure 

This drawing by Italian artist Gaspare Diziani (1689-1767) depicts a female figure standing in a pose reminiscent of classical sculpture. The work, housed in the Städel Museum, is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting. The delicate pencil lines and shading convey a sense of volume and movement, highlighting the figure's flowing drapery and graceful gesture. This preliminary sketch exemplifies Diziani's mastery of draftsmanship and his interest in classical themes within a Rococo sensibility.
