The Assumption of the Virgin

Carlo Innocenzo Carlone

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Assumption of the Virgin by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone: A drawing depicts a scene in sepia tones on aged paper. The image shows a central female figure surrounded by multiple smaller winged figures and clouds. The central figure appears to be ascending, with a calm expression on her face. The surrounding figures are dynamic, with some holding floral arrangements. The scene is circular, with the edges of the circle fading into the background. The entire scene is rendered in a reddish-brown hue. The paper background is off-white with visible signs of aging.
