Kniender Jüngling vor einem Fürsten (David vor Saul_) 

Gaspare Diziani’s *Kniender Jüngling vor einem Fürsten (David vor Saul)* is a brown ink drawing depicting a biblical scene. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger composition, likely a fresco or a painting. The image is framed with an elaborate, ornamental frame and a dramatic sky filled with clouds above a composition that shows a kneeling man in front of a seated figure. The drawing exemplifies Diziani’s masterful skill in capturing movement and emotion in his figures. The artwork is part of the collection at the Städel Museum.
