Christ (?) and an Apostle 1700 - 1800

This anonymous drawing from the 18th century depicts two figures, likely Christ and an apostle, in a study of composition and form. The figures are rendered in pen and brown wash, showcasing the artist's use of tonal variation to define volume and depth. The figures' expressive gestures and detailed facial features suggest the drawing was likely intended as a preparatory study for a larger work, highlighting the artist's attention to detail and understanding of human anatomy.
