This anonymous drawing from the 17th century, titled *Holy Family with Warrior Saint*, depicts the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the infant Jesus. The image is composed in a traditional Renaissance style, with emphasis on the figures and their symbolic poses, demonstrating the artists' mastery of the human form. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger, more complex painting. The artist's focus on detail and the expressive quality of the figures suggest a highly skilled and sensitive hand. This artwork can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago.
