This drawing, titled "Sacrifice of Iphigenia", is a work by the Italian Baroque artist Gaspare Diziani. The piece is a depiction of the Greek myth of Iphigenia, who was sacrificed by her father Agamemnon to appease Artemis and allow the Greek fleet to sail to Troy. The drawing showcases Diziani's skill in depicting human figures in dramatic poses, as seen in the contorted expressions and gestures of the figures. The scene is set against a backdrop of a classical architectural structure, adding to the historical context of the myth. This drawing, housed at the Städel Museum, is a testament to Diziani's mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the emotional intensity of a classical myth.
