A work made of oil on panel.
The Crucifixion, by Sodoma, 1500s
This is a drawing of two armored knights on horseback during a joust. It depicts two horses with riders clad in full armor, including helmets with decorative details. Each knight holds a lance, poised as if they are about to engage in a jousting match. The horses are also adorned in armor, with a colorful caparison draped over them. On the ground, there are lances and a halberd seen in the foreground. There are also disembodied arms and hands illustrated in the composition, adding an abstract element. The style is illustrative, capturing the medieval theme of chivalric tournaments.
This is a drawing of an ornamental floral design. The image shows a central floral motif resembling a flower with radiating petals, surrounded by swirling leaf patterns. The background is dark, contrasting with the lighter line work of the floral design. The drawing's borders are uneven and have an antique appearance.
Painting of the Annunciation, dove flying above Mary with angel.
Portrait of Roberto Castiglione, early 1600s
Study for the Nude Youth over the Prophet Daniel (recto); Figure Studies for the Sistine Ceiling (verso), by Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1510–11
