This drawing by Vittore Carpaccio, dated 1507-1508, shows two kneeling clerics on one side and a standing youth on the other. The work is a study of figures and drapery. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, particularly in the folds of the clerics' robes. This drawing exemplifies the technical skill and artistic precision characteristic of Carpaccio's work. It was likely a preliminary study for a larger painting.
