This drawing by Palma Vecchio, who was active in the early 16th century, depicts God the Father as a bearded man with a long flowing robe, surrounded by cherubs, angels, and clouds. The piece is executed in brown ink and washes on paper and depicts a central figure of God the Father floating on a cloud with his arms outstretched, above the Holy Spirit, represented as a dove. The artist likely used this work as a study for a larger painting or fresco. The dynamism of the composition and the use of light and shade to create a sense of volume are characteristic of Palma Vecchio's style.
