"The Last Judgment" is a pen drawing by Giovanni Battista della Rovere, an Italian artist who lived from 1575 to 1630. The composition depicts the dramatic moment of the Last Judgment with a focus on the lower half of the scene where souls are being judged. It shows a group of kneeling figures, likely representing the damned, being lifted towards the heavens by angels, while a figure of Christ, presumably in the upper portion, is implied above a large throng of angels and heavenly figures. This drawing is characteristic of Rovere's detailed and expressive style, employing rapid, calligraphic lines to create a sense of motion and drama, typical of the Baroque period. This pen drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting or fresco.
