This anonymous drawing, titled "Martyrdom of a Saint," depicts a scene of violent execution. The central figure, seated and with hands clasped, is likely the saint, while a figure to the left swings a sword with a fierce gesture. The drawing's dynamic lines and dramatic composition create a sense of immediacy and heighten the emotional impact of the scene. While the identity of the saint remains unknown, the drawing's vivid portrayal of martyrdom speaks to a broader religious context and resonates with viewers across time.
