"Angelica and Medoro" is a graphite drawing by Giovanni Battista Cipriani, a prominent Italian artist of the 18th century. The drawing depicts the figures of Angelica, a legendary warrior princess, and Medoro, her lover, from the Italian epic poem Orlando Furioso. The expressive lines and dynamic composition of the drawing are characteristic of Cipriani's style. The inclusion of two small dogs in the lower left corner adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. This artwork provides insight into Cipriani's artistic process, as it appears to be a preparatory sketch for a larger painting.
