The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Rosselli: A black and white drawing of a religious scene. The image depicts a group of people in robes, some kneeling and some standing, gathered around a low platform or ledge. The people are on the bottom half of the image. In the top half, a woman in a robe is surrounded by angels and other figures, seemingly being lifted up. The woman is surrounded by 7 angels, some holding musical instruments; two have large wings and trumpets. The background shows a cityscape and a cloudy sky. The people on the bottom appear to be looking up. The people are wearing robes and some have beards. The overall mood appears solemn.
