This drawing by Giuseppe Passeri (1654-1714) depicts the biblical scene of Christ and the Centurion. The work is a preparatory drawing for a larger composition. The drawing is composed of pen, brown ink, and wash on paper, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The dynamic composition and bold use of line are typical of Passeri's style. This particular artwork, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
