This charcoal drawing by Flemish artist Victor Honoré Janssens depicts a scene of violence, possibly a biblical subject. Two figures, obscured by a dark grey hue, lift a large rock above a bound and prostrate man, suggestive of suffering and punishment. The sketch-like quality of the drawing, with its loose lines and lack of detail, suggests this is a preliminary study for a larger composition. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this study drawing which, while not complete, offers insight into Janssens's creative process.
