Associated Artworks

The image is an ink and red chalk sketch on paper showing a group of people depicted from the upper bodies and heads. Three main figures are featured, with the central figure possibly representing a religious iconography. This central figure has distinctive features, with outstretched arms and a halo of lines above their head. Surrounding this central figure are two other individuals seated in supporting positions. The figures are wearing drapery-like clothing with no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain with a faint red chalk grid pattern, indicating this is a preparatory sketch.
