Cristoforo Roncalli

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two old, sepia-toned sketches side by side. The left sketch is larger and shows a drawing of three angels. The top two angels are winged and nude; one holds a staff and the other holds a circle. A grid is drawn on the paper behind them. The bottom figure is a nude, with their arms outstretched. The right sketch is split into two sections. The top section shows a drawing of two people dressed in long robes. The bottom section shows three winged figures drawn inside triangles. The background of the image is white.
