This drawing, by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Fiasella, depicts a standing angel. Executed in black chalk and red chalk on paper, the artwork showcases Fiasella's mastery of anatomical detail and drapery folds. The angel, rendered with subtle shading, is characterized by a contemplative gaze, with the artist's focus on depicting the figure's form. The back of the sheet contains a study of a face and drapery, highlighting Fiasella's meticulous approach to his work. This drawing is a testament to his artistic skills and his understanding of the human form.
