Biblical scene 

This is a sketch of a biblical scene by Spanish painter Mariano Fortuny Marsal, known for his expressive brushstrokes and dramatic compositions. This artwork, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work, depicts a scene from the Bible, potentially featuring the figures of Christ and a disciple or a symbolic portrayal of the faith. The sketch, executed in a loose and gestural style, showcases Fortuny's mastery of capturing movement and emotion. The dark tones create a sense of mystery and solemnity, adding depth and intrigue to the biblical narrative.
