Apotheosis of a Saint (recto)

Giovanni Battista Benaschi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a circular scene with several figures. A central figure in a long robe appears to be rising upwards or falling, with their head tilted back and arms outstretched. Two other figures are on either side, looking up. The figure on the left has short hair and a robe; the one on the right appears to be a woman with medium-length hair. There are additional figures in the background and above. The top figure seems to be holding something. The drawing is primarily in shades of gray and black, with some blue visible in the background, on the right side. Thin black lines intersect in the middle.
