Darstellung Christi im Tempel 

"Darstellung Christi im Tempel" is a drawing by Italian Baroque artist Giacinto Gimignani, depicting the moment Jesus is presented at the Temple in Jerusalem. This drawing, executed in brown ink, is a preparatory study for a larger painting. It captures the drama of the event through a perspective that creates a sense of depth within the architectural setting. The composition is focused on the central group of figures, including the Virgin Mary and Joseph, who are interacting with a priest seated at a table. The details in the figures' clothing and the architectural elements create a sense of realism, highlighting Gimignani’s masterful skill in representing the human figure and space. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
