Adam Elsheimer's "Saint Agnes" is a small pen and ink drawing depicting the Christian saint. The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, shows Agnes standing with a lamb in her arms and a cityscape visible in the background. The composition emphasizes Agnes's serene expression and graceful pose, capturing a moment of contemplation, making it a poignant depiction of faith and devotion. Elsheimer's mastery of light and shadow further enhances the drawing's impact. The drawing's intimate scale and personal quality make it a compelling example of Elsheimer's skill in capturing the essence of a religious subject.
