Virgin and Child with Angels in Black Chalk
An arched drawing in black chalk on blue paper shows the Virgin seated on clouds holding the Christ Child, surrounded by small angels in the upper sky. Her draped figure fills the center, while a kneeling figure appears at lower left and soft shading models the forms against the grey-blue ground.
