"An Apostle Guided by an Angel" is a pencil sketch by Agostino Masucci, an Italian artist active in the 18th century. The drawing depicts an apostle, possibly Saint Paul, with a long beard and robe, being guided by an angel that is hovering above him. The apostle is walking with a staff and seems to be looking upward towards the angel, suggesting a divine intervention. The piece, done in the style of a quick study, showcases Masucci's masterful use of line and composition, capturing the moment of the angel's guidance with a sense of dynamism.
