The Holy Women at the Sepulchre 1585 - 1620

Sisto Badalocchio's "The Holy Women at the Sepulchre" is a pen and brown ink drawing depicting the biblical scene of women visiting the tomb of Jesus. The composition features three women, likely representing Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, approaching the empty tomb where an angel sits. This drawing, created by the Italian artist Sisto Badalocchio, highlights his skill in depicting figures and drapery with meticulous detail. The drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a fine example of Badalocchio's early work.
