The Assumption of the Virgin

Francesco Rosselli

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Rosselli: A black and white drawing of a woman in a long dress surrounded by angels. The woman sits on a circular object, likely a cloud or a throne; she is positioned in the center of the image. She has her hands on her lap and her head is slightly tilted. A large group of angels surrounds her, some are playing trumpets, and some are holding flowers. A man with long hair and a robe stands below her, looking up, with one arm raised. He stands on a cliff, with buildings and trees in the background. The sky has several small clouds.
