The Transfiguration by Camillo Procaccini: A black and white drawing of a biblical scene. The top half shows three figures. The central figure wears a halo and a long robe; the robe drapes down around the figure on the left and right. The figures on either side of the central figure wear long robes and appear to be in motion. The bottom half depicts four men on the ground looking up. The man on the left sits and looks up with his left hand on his knee; his right hand rests on the ground. The man on the right sits and looks up with his right arm extended behind him; the left arm rests on his knee. The men on the bottom appear disheveled; their facial features contorted. The background features diagonal lines radiating from the top center. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner.
