Zwei Studien zu einer knienden Maria und Kreideskizze einer Gewandstudie c. 1480 - 1490

This anonymous drawing from the late 15th century, currently housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a study of a kneeling figure, likely Mary. The artist, unknown but likely working in the tradition of Northern European art, focused on rendering the drapery of the figure, showcasing the precise details of the folds and textures through delicate lines. This study demonstrates the artist's meticulous attention to detail and the exploration of form, a key aspect of late medieval and early Renaissance art.
