Presentation of Christ is a 1502 ink by Lorenzo Costa, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a scene with multiple figures, including a man holding a baby, surrounded by others. The figures are dressed in robes and appear to be in a formal setting. In the background, there is a large structure with a banner or tapestry hanging from it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of reverence and solemnity. The level of detail and realism in the painting suggests that it is a work from the Renaissance period.
