This intricate drawing by Giovanni Battista Foggini depicts a monstrance, a sacred vessel used in Catholic worship to display the consecrated Host. Two angels, their wings spread majestically, support the chalice, which sits on an elaborate base adorned with swirling scrolls and cherubs. The monstrance is surrounded by a radiant halo of light, symbolizing the divine presence within. This drawing, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger piece, showcases Foggini's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of Baroque decorative elements.
