The Virgin Fainting in the Arms of Three Holy Women

Giulio Bonasone

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a group of four women surrounding a fifth woman lying on the ground. The woman on the ground is positioned on her back with her head tilted back and her arms extended. Three women are standing around her. The woman on the left has her arm around the woman on the ground's head. The woman in the middle supports the woman on the ground. The woman on the right stands with her hand to her face. All the women are wearing long-sleeved clothing and head coverings. The background is a mottled brown color. The drawing is in black and white, with varying shades of gray. The style appears to be Renaissance or Baroque.
