The Last Supper (pair), by Lucantonio degli Uberti, c. 1500
A work made of etching in black on cream laid paper.

The Nativity, by Giorgio Ghisi, 1553
Madonna and Child in a Niche, by Antonio del Ceraiolo, c. 1520s
St. Catherine of Siena and the Beggar, by Giovanni di Paolo, 1460s
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.

The works in this room are listed below.
