Holy family 

This drawing by Italian artist Bartolomeo Schedoni, depicting the Holy Family, is a study for a larger composition. The piece captures the intimacy of the scene, with the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child, as Joseph looks on with tenderness. The artist's use of soft, chalky lines creates a sense of depth and volume, while the warm brown tones evoke a sense of warmth and devotion. The drawing is a testament to Schedoni's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of religious subjects.
