Madonna, mit einem Buch in der Hand 

Pellegrino Tibaldi's "Madonna, mit einem Buch in der Hand" is a masterful pen-and-ink drawing depicting the Virgin Mary holding a book and cradling the Christ Child. The drawing's delicate lines and shading convey a sense of intimacy and tenderness between the mother and her son. This artwork is a study for a larger composition and demonstrates Tibaldi's mastery of draftsmanship and the use of light and shadow. While the precise date of this drawing is unknown, it exemplifies the artistic style prevalent in the late 16th century.
