Expert opinion: Prof. Egidio Martini (photographic certificate enclosed).

Gaspare Diziani, a pupil of Gregorio Lazzarini and active in Venice, Dresden, and Munich, is one of the leading figures of 18th-century Venetian decorative painting. The sheet depicts two evangelists within oval frames, most likely preparatory studies for an ecclesiastical decorative cycle. The figure on the left, accompanied by an angel, can be identified as Saint Matthew; the one on the right, with the ox, as Saint Luke. The ink line is confident and fluid, with wash highlights that give volume to the animated drapery. The graphic ease and dynamic rendering of the figures are well-documented features of Diziani's draughtsmanship.
