Zwei Figuren aus dem Raub der Sabinerinnen 

This red chalk drawing by Nicolas Poussin, a leading figure in the Baroque era, captures the dynamism of a scene from the Roman myth of the "Rape of the Sabine Women." The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work, possibly a painting or fresco, and shows two figures engaged in a struggle. The expressive lines and anatomical accuracy are characteristic of Poussin's style, and the work's emphasis on classical subjects and the human figure reflects the artistic trends of his time. This study is housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
