Descent into Limbo by Andrea Mantegna: A black and white drawing of a stone archway with a smaller rounded doorway underneath. A man stands to the left holding a long wooden beam. Three nude men are positioned to the right, with one covering his face and another touching his head. A man in a robe and hat stands in the center, holding a staff and reaching out to the nude man on the left. Above the archway, two demons and a winged creature are depicted. The scene appears to be set in a rocky, barren environment.
