Die Heilige Familie mit dem Engel c. 1550 - 1570

This drawing, titled "Die Heilige Familie mit dem Engel" by the Italian artist Ruggiero de Ruggieri, depicts the Holy Family. Created between 1550 and 1570, the artwork shows the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child with Saint Joseph, likely representing Joseph, behind them. The scene suggests a tender moment between mother and son, captured in a soft and delicate manner. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum and exemplifies the artistic style of the Renaissance.
