Two gladiators 

Cristoforo Roncalli's "Two Gladiators" is a dynamic drawing of two figures locked in a fierce struggle. The artist's keen eye for anatomy is evident in the detailed depiction of the figures' musculature. This drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work, likely a painting or a sculpture, demonstrating the artist's process of developing a scene through sketches. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques adds depth and volume to the figures. The drawing is held in the Städel Museum, a renowned art institution in Frankfurt.
