Offering (_) 

"Offering (_)" is a drawing by Italian Baroque artist Carlo Maratti. The artwork depicts two figures, possibly a mother and child, standing on a rocky outcrop and holding a small object in their hands. The composition is dominated by a sense of drama and movement with the figures appearing to be in motion. The figures are surrounded by a cloud of angels who are also in flight. The dramatic use of light and shadow further enhances the emotional impact of the scene, highlighting the figures and their offering. This artwork is held in the Städel Museum.
