Apollo Flaying Marsyas (recto) Two Sketches of a Mother and Child (verso)

Anonymous

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two drawings on aged paper, displayed side by side. The left drawing depicts a nude male figure on top of another nude figure, holding a knife in their right hand. The figure on top has short curly hair and wings on their back. The figure on the bottom is on one knee, with their head tilted back and their arms outstretched. The right drawing is a lighter shade of brown and features very faint sketches of two figures. One figure appears to be a woman holding a small child. The background of both drawings is a light brown color with some darker brown spots and lines. The drawings have a worn, aged appearance.
