This black chalk drawing, titled "Sleeping Christ Child Holding Cross," is a study by Italian Baroque artist Carlo Cignani. Created in the late 17th century, it showcases the artist's skillful rendering of the human form. The sleeping Christ child, depicted with a relaxed posture and serene expression, holds a cross close to his chest. This study may have been preparatory for a larger painting. It is currently housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
