Saints adoring the Virgin Mary is a 1663 by Pietro Antonio da Pietri, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a group of people gathered around a woman, who stands at the center. The woman is draped in a long robe, and the others are dressed in similar attire. They seem to be looking up at her with reverence. The scene is rendered in a simple, yet expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of quiet devotion, as if the figures are lost in contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Baroque movement.
