407 × 272 cm

Delicate pencil sketches capture dynamic angel figures in flight, their bodies twisted mid-gesture across the paper's surface. These preparatory studies reveal Michelangelo's process for celestial compositions, demonstrating how the master worked through movement and anatomical precision before executing monumental works.
