This delicate drawing by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicts a dramatic scene of two generals meeting before a fortified town. Though the subject of this drawing remains unclear, Tiepolo's mastery of line and light is evident in the depiction of the figures and the townscape. This drawing, created between 1696 and 1770, is a prime example of Tiepolo's early work and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
