Jenny Saville- Reproduction Drawing IV

This is Reproduction Drawing IV is a paper and pencil artwork made by Jenny Saville. It was created in 2009-10 and is held in the Gagosian Art Exhibit. This piece is a part of a series of pieces called the reproductive drawings.In creating this, she mimics Leonardo's Madonna and Child with St. Anne and Virgin and child with St. Ann and St.John the Baptist. Jenny Saville takes the human form and makes it look as if it is moving within these drawings, the child being depicted looks tangled within its mothers arms as a small child would be naturally.
