St. Sebastian plejes af kvinderne eller Adonis' død 1627 - 1703

This 17th-century drawing by Domenico Piola depicts a scene of intense drama. The quick, gestural lines and dynamic composition suggest a chaotic scene. It's likely a study for a larger painting, with the central figure - perhaps St. Sebastian or Adonis - surrounded by figures who appear to be mourning or tending to him. The artist's loose, expressive style is characteristic of Baroque drawing, where the focus was on capturing emotion and movement rather than precise detail. This sketch, with its stark contrasts and swirling lines, offers a glimpse into Piola's artistic process.
