St Sebastian 1518 - 1594

This drawing, titled "St Sebastian", created by an anonymous artist between 1518 and 1594, depicts the Christian martyr St. Sebastian bound to a tree and pierced by arrows. The work, executed in pen and wash, showcases the dramatic pose and suffering of the saint. It is a powerful example of the Renaissance interest in depicting human anatomy and emotion. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
