Francesco di Simone Ferrucci's "Sketches of Figures of the Virgin Kneeling, Saint Peter Standing, Seated Allegorical Figures of Faith and Charity, and Child Standing on a Corbel (?) (recto); Sketches of Figures of Saint Sebastian Standing and the Virgin and Child with Angels (verso)" (1487-1488) is a pen and brown ink drawing on paper, showcasing the artist's preliminary studies for a larger composition. The recto side features a kneeling Virgin Mary, a standing Saint Peter, and allegorical figures of Faith and Charity, while the verso depicts Saint Sebastian and a Virgin and Child with angels. The drawings demonstrate Ferrucci's keen eye for detail and his understanding of the human form. This artwork offers a glimpse into the creative process of a Renaissance artist, revealing their preliminary sketches and compositional ideas for larger, more finished works.
