The Last Supper

Master S

1500

This is a photograph of a red textured surface. The image shows a close-up view of a material that has a consistent, even crimson color with a subtle grid-like pattern. This pattern is reminiscent of a leather-like texture, characterized by its small, interconnected lines and natural-looking grooves that give it a realistic, tactile appearance. The surface appears to be smooth and slightly glossy, reflecting the light subtly to highlight the pattern throughout. The edges of the surface are slightly rounded.

The Passion

Master S

1500

This is a drawing with multiple figures in an intense scene. There is a central architectural structure with columns and textiles. The scene shows a figure kneeling with a halo, surrounded by other figures engaged in dynamic actions. Above, there is an alcove with two putti. The drawing is detailed with rich texture created by lines and cross-hatching, providing depth to the figures and architecture. The border is decorated with vines or floral motifs.
