Apotheosis of a Saint (recto); Architectural Sketch(?) (verso)

Giovanni Battista Benaschi

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two circular drawings side by side on a light gray background. The left drawing is a pencil sketch of a scene with multiple figures, including a central figure surrounded by others, some of whom appear to be angels. The central figure is wearing a robe and appears to be rising or floating upwards, with lines suggesting movement or energy around them. The right drawing is a pencil sketch of architectural elements, including lines and shapes that suggest a building or structure, with some areas marked or scratched. The right drawing has some white tape on the top edge and appears to have some discoloration and marks on its surface. Both drawings are roughly the same size and are presented in a straightforward, matter-of-fact style.
