Figure Studies for a Judgment Scene 1660 - 1700

Michel Corneille the Younger’s *Figure Studies for a Judgment Scene* is a pen-and-ink drawing that depicts a scene from the Last Judgement. The composition includes a complex arrangement of figures, both standing and seated, with a central figure of God on a throne, and several angels and demons in a crowded setting. The piece, created between 1660 and 1700, is a testament to Corneille’s skill in capturing the human form and conveying dramatic emotion in his studies. *Figure Studies for a Judgment Scene* is a preparatory drawing, meaning it was likely created for a larger painting or mural project, offering a glimpse into the artist’s creative process.
