The Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple 1790 - 1795

"The Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" is a drawing created by Italian artist Antonio Cavallucci in 1790-1795. The work depicts the biblical event of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. Mary, a young girl, is being presented to the High Priest in the temple by her parents, Joachim and Anne. The drawing captures the solemnity of the moment, with the figures dressed in flowing robes and arranged in a dramatic composition. This drawing is a beautiful example of Cavallucci's talent for capturing the beauty and emotion of religious subjects.
