Maria mit dem Jesuskind und dem Johannesknaben, darunter lagernder Knabe mit Putto 

This drawing, "Maria mit dem Jesuskind und dem Johannesknaben, darunter lagernder Knabe mit Putto," by Donato Creti, is a study of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, along with John the Baptist and two putti. The work was likely made as a preparatory drawing for a larger painting, capturing the composition in a simple, yet expressive manner. The artist was known for his paintings and drawings, particularly in Bologna during the Baroque period. This work, currently held at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the creative process of Creti, a master of the Baroque style.
