The Adoration of the Holy Lamb 1724 - 1796

Franz Anton Maulbertsch's "The Adoration of the Holy Lamb," is a 1724-1796 drawing depicting an angel kneeling in reverence before a chalice. The ethereal composition features multiple cherubs scattered throughout a cloudy expanse, suggesting a celestial scene. Maulbertsch's delicate lines and washes of ink create a sense of weightlessness and devotion, characteristic of Baroque-style religious art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this 16.9 x 19.5 cm drawing, providing a glimpse into Maulbertsch's artistic process.
