This drawing by Gaspare Diziani, an Italian painter of the 18th century, shows the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a central event in the history of the Catholic Church. The central figure of the Virgin Mary is depicted ascending into heaven, surrounded by angels. The depiction is highly dynamic, with flowing lines capturing the movement and energy of the scene. The sketch is framed by two figures, likely saints, who gaze upwards towards the ascension, while the figure of the Virgin Mary is barely visible, her figure hidden amidst the swirling clouds. The drawing was likely a preparatory sketch for a larger composition, a common practice for artists of this era. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany.
