Studies for an Annunciation [recto]

Jacopo Palma il Giovane

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of four sketched figures. The drawing depicts four figures, two on the left which are winged and seated on clouds, addressing two figures on the right, seated with draped clothing. Each figure is rendered with fluid linework, with emphasis on dynamic poses and expressions. The figures exhibit stylized forms typical of studies or preliminary sketches for a larger work. The composition of the drawing is balanced, with the figures arranged diagonally across the page.
