This is a preliminary drawing for a larger work by the Venetian artist Gaspare Diziani. It depicts two cherubs in flight, their bodies drawn in a loose, sketchy manner. The drawing is characteristic of Diziani's work, which often employed a graceful, elegant style with a focus on the human figure. It is a preparatory work for a larger composition, suggesting that Diziani utilized drawings to plan and develop his compositions before undertaking the final work. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
