Martyrdom of a Saint n.d.

This black chalk and red chalk drawing by Antoine Coypel titled "Martyrdom of a Saint" depicts a dramatic scene of a saint being led to execution. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged in a swirling motion. The saint, clothed in a long robe, appears to be kneeling as soldiers surround her. The artist's use of hatching and shading creates a sense of depth and volume, giving the figures a sense of weight and presence. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcasing Coypel's mastery of depicting religious themes and dramatic scenes.
