The Passion: The Agony in the Garden, by Martin Schongauer, c. 1480
A work made of red chalk and brush and red chalk wash (recto) and black chalk, with black chalk grid lines, (verso) on cream laid paper.
Virgin and Child, by Bernardino Luini, 1500s
Holy Family with a Shepherd, by Battista Dossi, early 1520s
This is a drawing of two armored figures on horseback engaged in a joust. Both knights are clad in ornate armor and mounted on horses as they participate in the match. The scene captures the moment of impact, with splintered lances flying in the air. One knight in silver armor with blue accents is being unseated from his horse, while the other knight in red and silver armor remains mounted. Both horses are draped in colors matching their riders' armors. The focus is on the dynamic action and energy of the joust, with fine details showing the armor's shine and the movement of the horses. The drawing is bordered, and there is some script at the top and bottom.
A work made of engraving in black on cream laid paper.
A work made of pen and brown ink on dark cream laid paper, laid down on laid paper, with pen and ink and gold ruled lines.
The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea, by Titian, 1514–15, printed 1549
