This drawing by Giovanni Battista Zelotti, a prominent Venetian painter, depicts a frieze-like ornament. In the center lies a reclining female figure, likely a goddess or allegory. Two cherubs flank her, one holding a large vase, possibly referencing the themes of abundance and fertility. This study, likely intended for a larger work, showcases Zelotti's mastery of figure drawing and classical composition. The Städel Museum's collection boasts this significant example of the artist's work, offering insights into his creative process and the decorative trends of the Venetian Renaissance.
