Madonna and Child with the infant St John the Baptist and three angels 1486 - 1530

"Madonna and Child with the infant St John the Baptist and three angels" is a red chalk drawing by Fra Bartolommeo, a Florentine artist active during the High Renaissance. The drawing depicts the Virgin Mary with the infant Christ, the infant St John the Baptist, and three angels. It is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, as the figures are drawn with great detail and precision, suggesting a deep understanding of anatomy and perspective. The work can be found at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
