"Studies of a Holy Family" is a pen and brown wash drawing by Cesare Pollini, a 16th and 17th-century Italian artist. The composition depicts multiple figures, including the Holy Family, along with angels. The drawing is composed of loose sketches, and it appears that Pollini is studying the figures for a larger composition. The use of brown wash helps to create the illusion of three-dimensionality in the figures, particularly in the drapery. The drawing's small dimensions of 19.4 x 20.1 cm suggest it was likely a preliminary study, an important stage in the creative process of artists of this time.
