"Study For Saint Joachim For 'the Girlhood Of The Virgin Mary'" is a preparatory drawing by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This work serves as a preliminary study for Rossetti's larger painting, "The Girlhood of Mary Virgin," which was completed in 1849. The drawing focuses on the figure of Saint Joachim, who, according to Christian tradition, is the father of the Virgin Mary. Rossetti's depiction of Saint Joachim is imbued with the characteristic attention to detail and symbolic richness that defines much of his oeuvre.

Rossetti, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, sought to revive the intricate and vivid style of early Renaissance art, emphasizing realism, elaborate detail, and vibrant color. The study of Saint Joachim is a testament to Rossetti's meticulous approach to composition and character development. In this preparatory sketch, Rossetti explores the physical and emotional attributes of Saint Joachim, capturing a sense of piety and contemplation that would later be fully realized in the final painting.

The drawing is executed with a keen sense of anatomical precision and expressive line work, showcasing Rossetti's skill as a draftsman. The study not only provides insight into Rossetti's artistic process but also reflects the broader thematic concerns of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including a fascination with religious subjects and a commitment to artistic integrity.

"The Girlhood of Mary Virgin" was one of Rossetti's first major works and marked a significant moment in his career, establishing him as a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene. The preparatory study for Saint Joachim thus holds considerable historical and artistic significance, offering a glimpse into the early stages of Rossetti's creative journey and his dedication to reviving the spiritual and aesthetic values of pre-Renaissance art.
