Der heilige Nabor (Felix_) und der jugendliche Johannes der Täufer c. 1570 - 1575

This is a drawing by Orazio Samacchini depicting the figures of Saint Nabor and the young John the Baptist. The drawing, executed in pen and brown ink on paper, was likely a preparatory study for a larger composition. The figures are depicted in a dramatic pose, with Saint Nabor seated and John the Baptist kneeling. This preparatory study is dated to the last years of the artist's life, between 1570 and 1575. It can now be found in the collection of the Städel Museum.
