This drawing, created in 1502 by Renaissance master Michelangelo, depicts the biblical figures of Saint Anne, the Virgin Mary, and the Christ Child. The composition, a common subject in art, emphasizes the close bond between mother and child. Michelangelo's masterful use of line creates a sense of depth and movement, revealing the artist's profound understanding of human anatomy. This small drawing, now housed in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is a testament to Michelangelo's genius and offers a glimpse into the creative process of one of history's greatest artists.
