En gruppe hyrder, i deres midte en ung hyrde, der fortællende peger mod himlen. Josef imellem sine brødre? 1637 - 1724

This pen-and-ink drawing, titled "En gruppe hyrder, i deres midte en ung hyrde, der fortællende peger mod himlen. Josef imellem sine brødre?" by Italian artist Sigismondo Caula, depicts a group of shepherds with one pointing upward. The drawing is an example of Baroque-era art, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow and its focus on human emotion. This drawing likely serves as a preparatory sketch for a larger painting, possibly depicting the biblical story of Joseph's betrayal by his brothers. Caula was known for his skill in figure drawing, and this sketch exemplifies his ability to capture the human form with dynamism and expressiveness.
