The painting is called Seated Angel in a Landscape. It was made during the Baroque period, which is interesting because this time saw a lot of dramatic lighting and intense emotions in art. The fact that it's a drawing, made with black chalk on laid paper, also shows the artist's skill with simple materials. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Baroque.
