Martyrdom of St. Stephen

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a dramatic scene. A man in a white robe with his arms raised is being stoned by a group of people. One man is behind him with his arm raised to throw a rock. Another man in the foreground on the right appears to be kneeling. A cityscape with arches is on the left side. At the top, an angel and a semi-nude figure with wings are flying above the scene. Text at the bottom reads "Joannes Dominicus Tiepolo" and some smaller illegible text underneath. The drawing is in a landscape orientation.
