This drawing, "Holy Family with Mary Magdalene and Male Saint," by Italian Mannerist painter Parmigianino, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with Joseph and two saints behind them. The composition uses soft, flowing lines and elongated proportions, typical of Parmigianino's style. This piece, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a prime example of the artist's exploration of classical and Renaissance elements within a Mannerist framework.
