This 1720 drawing by Cosmas Damian Asam, a prominent figure of the German Rococo period, depicts a study for "The Ascension of Christ". The preparatory drawing features several figures in dynamic poses, suggesting an energetic composition. The red chalk medium emphasizes the fluidity of motion and the interplay of light and shadow. Asam's use of line and shadow in this drawing foreshadows his mastery in creating dynamic, theatrical scenes. The subject matter, the Ascension, is a significant event in Christian iconography.
