"Madonna unter einem Baum, ein Engel führt ihr den Johannesknaben mit dessen Lamm zu" is a black chalk drawing on paper by the Italian Baroque artist Carlo Maratti. The drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the Virgin Mary seated beneath a tree, with a cherub presenting the young John the Baptist, who holds a lamb. This piece exemplifies Maratti’s refined style, known for its grace and elegance, which was heavily influenced by the works of Raphael. The detailed, expressive lines of the drawing showcase the artist's masterful skill in capturing the tender moment of the encounter, highlighting the theme of the Virgin Mary's divine motherhood.
