This pen-and-wash drawing by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, a prominent Italian artist of the late Renaissance period, depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ Child. Procaccini's distinct style is evident in the fluid lines and expressive gestures, creating a sense of intimacy and tenderness between mother and son. The use of wash adds depth and dimension, enhancing the drawing's emotional impact. This work, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Procaccini's talent for capturing the essence of religious imagery through masterful draughtsmanship.
