This drawing titled "Six Orientals" by Gaspare Diziani (1689-1767), now housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a group of figures in a dynamic composition. Executed in brown ink on paper, the artwork showcases Diziani's masterful use of line and form, capturing the movement and energy of his subjects. The artist's loose and expressive style, reminiscent of the Venetian school of drawing, is evident in the gestural strokes and the subtle washes of brown ink. Despite its unfinished appearance, "Six Orientals" stands as a testament to Diziani's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey a sense of dramatic tension through the interplay of figures and space.
