MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Study of Two Women, One with Child (verso)

🖼 Study of Two Women, One with Child (verso), c. 1503
Pen in brown, over traces of drawing in leadpoint
375 × 197 cm

Delicate line work captures two female figures in intimate poses, one cradling a child, rendered in quick preparatory sketches. Renaissance master Michelangelo's study reveals his obsessive practice of human form, informing his monumental compositions and establishing drawing as essential artistic practice.
