This drawing, "Offerhandling (?) Tre gående figurer i græske gevandter. Forrest en mand bærende en amfora og en stav eller fakkel, derefter to kvinder," by Jacques François Joseph Saly, depicts three figures in classical garb. The figures are rendered in a simple, linear style, with the emphasis on their form and movement. The man, carrying an amphora and a staff or torch, leads the way, followed by two women. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work and showcases Saly's interest in the human form and classical antiquity. It is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, and measures 350 mm high by 507 mm wide.
