Unidentified Subject (Two Falling Figures and Two Standing Women in a Landscape) 1624 - 1663

Francesco Allegrini's "Unidentified Subject (Two Falling Figures and Two Standing Women in a Landscape)" is a pen and ink drawing depicting two women in a landscape with a sky filled with figures. The women, dressed in loose garments, stand facing one another, their conversation obscured by a partially obscured structure. Two figures, one flying and one falling, are depicted in the upper portion of the drawing. The drawing, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Allegrini's skill in creating a dynamic scene with a focus on human form and movement.
