"Virgin and Child with St. Anne and the Infant St. John the Baptist," commonly known as "Sant'Anna, la Vergine, il Bambino e san Giovannino," is a celebrated drawing by the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci. This artwork, which is a cartoon, or full-scale preparatory drawing, is believed to have been created around 1499–1500 and showcases Leonardo's profound understanding of anatomy, his mastery of chiaroscuro, and his skill in depicting human emotion and interaction.

The composition of the drawing features St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, as the central figure, with the Virgin Mary seated on her lap. The young Christ Child is depicted reaching out towards a lamb, symbolizing his future sacrifice, while the infant St. John the Baptist, an inclusion that became a popular motif in Florentine art, watches on. This scene is rich with symbolic meaning and reflects the complex theological concepts of the Incarnation and Redemption.

Leonardo's innovative approach to the composition, with its pyramidal structure and the dynamic interaction between the figures, demonstrates his departure from the traditional, static representations of the same subject matter. The figures are rendered with a tenderness and intimacy that is characteristic of Leonardo's work, and the masterful use of sfumato—a technique he perfected—adds a softness to the contours and a three-dimensionality to the forms.

The drawing is executed in charcoal and black and white chalk on paper, which was a common medium for preparatory works of the time. It is believed that this cartoon served as a study for a painting that was never completed by Leonardo. The work is currently housed in the National Gallery, London, and remains an important piece for the study of Leonardo's artistic process and the development of High Renaissance art.

The "Virgin and Child with St. Anne and the Infant St. John the Baptist" is not only a testament to Leonardo's skill as a draftsman but also to his intellectual engagement with religious themes and his continuous exploration of human emotion and familial relationships. As such, it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest, contributing significantly to our understanding of Leonardo's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art.
