"The Pentecost, with the Virgin standing at center, the Holy Spirit above, and Apostles on both sides" is a drawing by Anne Claude Philippe Caylus, an 18th-century French collector and artist. This drawing, dated 1724-1734, depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends on the Apostles, as seen through a 17th-century lens. The drawing is executed in a delicate style, characteristic of Caylus's work, with subtle shading and a sense of depth, highlighting the central figures of the Virgin and the Holy Spirit. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
