This pen and wash drawing by Antonio Grano depicts the story of Saint Bibiana, a 4th-century Roman Christian martyr who refused to sacrifice to Jupiter. The artwork is a preparatory study for a larger composition, possibly a fresco or mural. It shows Bibiana, surrounded by figures, standing in front of a sacrificial altar. Grano's drawing is a detailed composition, showcasing the artist's talent for anatomical detail and the depiction of figures in motion. The drawing is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
