This drawing, "Maria auf Wolken stehend, zwischen Anbetenden mit Rosenkränzen," depicts the Virgin Mary standing on a cloud surrounded by worshippers. The image shows the central role of Mary in the Catholic faith, as she is depicted as a powerful figure receiving adoration. Two angels above her hold a crown, emphasizing her divine status. The work is characteristic of Francesco Vanni, a Florentine painter known for his masterful use of light and shade, and his expressive figures. This drawing was likely a study for a larger painting, showcasing Vanni's meticulous approach to composition and detail.
