Attributed to Francesco Bartolozzi, R.A. (Italian, 1727-1815). The Virgin Mary (The Immaculate Conception).
A finely rendered devotional drawing, executed in brown ink and wash, depicting the Virgin Mary.
The composition portrays the Madonna standing triumphantly on clouds, crushing a serpent underfoot, a classic iconography of the Immaculate Conception, surrounded by a celestial retinue of cherubs.
This work exemplifies the elegant draughtsmanship and classical influences characteristic of the late 18th-century period, strongly resembling the style of Francesco Bartolozzi, the celebrated Florentine engraver and Academician, who often created such studies and engraved religious subjects.
