St. Sebastian, from "The Martyr of St. Sebastian" 

This haunting drawing, "St. Sebastian," is a work by the Russian artist Léon Bakst. The drawing depicts the saint, bound by ropes, as he stands against a stark, dark background, reminiscent of his martyrdom. Bakst is known for his work in the Art Nouveau and Symbolist styles, which are reflected in this dramatic and stylized representation of the saint. His unique approach to the figure of St. Sebastian adds a powerful and almost grotesque dimension to the traditional Christian iconography of the saint.
