This red chalk drawing by Federico Zuccaro depicts the figures of Saint Michael and Saint Giovanni Gualberto. The drawing is a study for the artist's larger painting, "Saint Michael and Saint Giovanni Gualberto", which was inspired by Andrea del Sarto's Vallombrosa altarpiece. Zuccaro's drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reveals his mastery of anatomical detail and the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The dynamic composition and expressive figures exemplify the Mannerist style that characterized Zuccaro's artistic approach.
