Staande heilige Agnes c. 1450 - 1474

"Staande heilige Agnes" is a drawing by Giovanni Badile, created between 1450 and 1474. The piece depicts a standing female figure in a flowing gown, likely representing Saint Agnes, a Christian martyr. The delicate lines and the figure's pose demonstrate Badile's skill in capturing movement and form. The drawing's small size, measuring only 132 mm in height and 79 mm in width, suggests it may have been a preparatory study for a larger painting or sculpture. The artwork's simplicity and focus on the figure's form are characteristic of the Early Renaissance period, when artists sought to revive classical artistic ideals.
