Madonna mit dem Rosenkranz und weiblicher Akt c. 1735 - 1740

This drawing, "Madonna mit dem Rosenkranz und weiblicher Akt" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, showcases the artist's signature dynamic lines and expressive brushwork. Dated to c. 1735-1740, it depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with a sketch of a nude female figure in the upper right corner, possibly a study for another work. The loose and gestural style, with a focus on capturing movement and form, is characteristic of Tiepolo's sketches, offering a glimpse into his creative process.
