Study of a Madonna

Leonardo da Vinci, probably 1470/1480

A woman wearing a mantle, which drapes over her head and shoulders, and holding her hands together in prayer is lightly sketched in black chalk in this vertical drawing. Her body is angled to our left. Her head tips in that direction, and she looks off into the distance. Forms to the left of the woman are studies of a man’s torso and a muscular leg. The sketches are all faintly drawn on paper that now has some brown speckling.
