Studies for a Servant in "The Last Supper" c. 1590s

This drawing by Federico Barocci, dated to the 1590s, is a study for a servant in his iconic painting "The Last Supper". This red chalk drawing features the figure's hand interacting with a basket, suggesting a scene of service or preparation. The detail of the servant's hand and foot, visible in this study, would have contributed to the overall realism and emotional depth of Barocci's monumental painting.
