"Studienblatt_ Köpfe von Christus, Maria und zwei weiteren Männern," is a study drawing by the prominent Northern Renaissance artist Joos van Cleve, active in the 16th century. The drawing depicts the heads of Christ, Mary, and two other men, executed in a simple, yet expressive style. Van Cleve's masterful use of hatching and shading gives a sense of volume and depth to the figures. This drawing showcases the artist's interest in capturing the emotional essence of his subjects, particularly evident in the sorrowful expressions of Christ and Mary. This work is a testament to van Cleve's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey profound religious themes through subtle gestures and facial expressions.
