The Vision of Simon Stock

Pietro Antonio de Pietri

National Gallery of Art

The drawing features multiple figures on clouds. A woman and child sit in a semi-upright position. The woman's face is detailed, showing a serene expression, and she wears a draped fabric on her head. The child next to her is also draped and rests against her side. The drawing depicts flowing garments enveloping the figures. Several cherubs with wings are around them. Below the woman and child, a kneeling figure in flowing robes reaches upwards. The background includes more clouds, giving the composition a heavenly atmosphere.
