"Playing Cherubs" is a pen and brown wash drawing on paper created by Venetian artist Gaspare Diziani (1689-1767). The drawing depicts a group of cherubs, or winged infants, engaging in playful activities. The artist utilizes loose, gestural lines to capture the dynamic movement and energy of the cherubic figures. The drawing likely served as a preparatory sketch for a larger work of art, showcasing Diziani's skill in capturing the human form in motion. The work is housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
