Maria übergibt dem Apostel Thomas ihren Gürtel 

Agostino Carracci created this drawing, "Maria übergibt dem Apostel Thomas ihren Gürtel," using pen and brown ink with brown wash. The oval composition features dynamic movement, from the figures on the left ascending on a cloud, to the kneeling Saint Thomas on the right. The artist plays with light and shadow through the brown wash. See how the deliberate application of darker tones defines the drapery of Mary and Thomas, creating a sense of volume, while the lighter washes suggest a divine glow. The drawing seems to capture a moment of spiritual and physical exchange, underscored by the contrast in textures: from the ethereal cloud to the solid architectural backdrop. Note the fluid lines that define the figures, giving them a sense of immediacy. The diagonal orientation directs your eye from the heavens to earth. In essence, the artwork captures a divine transaction through careful consideration of form and composition.
