Twee bandieten met skeletten 1819 - 1823

Bartolomeo Pinelli's "Twee bandieten met skeletten" is a pencil drawing depicting two bandits standing amidst a rocky landscape. The bandit on the left leans against a large rock, while the bandit on the right stands upright with a rifle in his hands. Both are wearing traditional attire and wide-brimmed hats. At their feet lie the skeletons of their victims, adding a stark and macabre element to the scene. The drawing is executed in a detailed and realistic style, capturing the harshness of the bandits’ environment and the violence of their actions. This work highlights Pinelli's interest in depicting criminal subjects.
