MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Study of a Mourning Woman

🖼 Study of a Mourning Woman, 1493-97
Pen and brown ink, heightened with white
260 × 165 cm

Soft charcoal lines capture a woman's bowed head and draped shoulders, her grief rendered through elegant, economical gesture. Michelangelo's preparatory study reveals his mastery of human emotion and anatomy, foundational to Renaissance portraiture and devotional art.
