This pen and brown ink drawing by Italian artist Ubaldo Gandolfi, depicts the Assumption of the Virgin. The Assumption is a central tenet of Catholic theology, depicting the Virgin Mary's ascension to heaven. The sketch, dated c. 1780, is a preliminary study for a larger painting, characterized by detailed and expressive lines and a sense of movement. The dynamic composition illustrates the power and majesty of the event, creating a powerful visual experience. This study is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
