This drawing by Gaspare Diziani, a prominent Italian painter of the 18th century, depicts cherubs (putti) worshipping the holy sacrament. The composition is dominated by a central, radiant monstrance, a vessel for the consecrated host, which is surrounded by a host of cherubic figures. Some play musical instruments, while others gaze up in adoration. The scene is set against a backdrop of clouds, creating a celestial atmosphere. This preparatory drawing, now in the Städel Museum, likely served as a study for a larger fresco or altarpiece.
