Mary, sketch for the stained glass window Ave Maria in Pori Church 

This watercolor sketch by Finnish artist Magnus Enckell, depicts the figure of Mary, likely a study for a larger stained glass window. The sketch is characterized by loose, expressive brushstrokes, conveying the artist’s focus on capturing the essence of the figure rather than detailed realism. Mary's pose, with her hand covering her face, evokes a sense of sorrow and contemplation, a fitting depiction for a figure associated with Christian faith. The artist's use of color, with washes of blue, red, and pink, contributes to the overall sense of spirituality and sentimentality.
