Listening Angel is a 1550 unspecified by Unknown, a Mannerism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face turned slightly to the side. They have light skin, dark hair pulled back, and a calm expression. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out clearly. The soft shadows on the face make it look three-dimensional. This effect was a big deal in Renaissance art. Look up *sfumato* to see how artists used it to blend colors smoothly.
