Madonna and Child is a 1504 by Francesco Primaticcio, a Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a woman holding a baby, both wrapped in flowing robes. The background looks rough, like stone or cloth, with no clear details. The woman’s hair is curly, and her face is turned slightly toward the baby, who has one arm raised. The artist used thin, precise lines to create light and shadow, making the figures stand out. This style was common in Renaissance drawings. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
Francesco Primaticcio was an Italian Mannerist painter, architect and sculptor who spent most of his career in France.
