Doric Rotunda Interior with Curtains; Four Figure Studies, Including a Female Nude Bather with Putti, and a Martyrdom [of St. Bartholomew?] (from Sketchbook)
The image depicts a sketch with multiple figures and architectural elements. The sketch is drawn in pencil on a gray background. On the left side, there is a partial drawing of a building interior with columns and a curtain. The right side of the sketch features several figures, including a nude man sitting on the ground with his legs outstretched to the right and his head turned to the left; behind him, a semi-nude figure with a hat on, and another figure partially drawn. In the lower-left corner, there is a sketch of a nude female bather accompanied by two small putti; one putto is sitting on her right arm, and the other to her right. Above the bather, a standing figure is drawn. On the upper-right side, a figure appears to be tied to a pole with their skin flayed off. The sketch appears to be a study for a larger work, with rough, expressive lines.
