Kneeling woman on the right 

This black chalk drawing by Alessandro Casolani depicts a kneeling woman in a flowing gown. The woman's head is bowed, her hands raised in prayer, suggesting a figure of devotion. Casolani was a prominent Italian painter and draughtsman known for his studies of the human figure. This drawing exemplifies his masterful technique and skill in depicting the folds and textures of drapery. The subject's pose and gesture convey a sense of profound piety, which was a recurring theme in Casolani's work. While the specific date of this drawing is unknown, it is attributed to Casolani's mature period (1552-1606). The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, a renowned art institution in Frankfurt, Germany.
