From "Bizzarie di varie Figure"

Giovanni Battista Bracelli

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two robotic figures composed of stacked cylindrical forms engaged in interaction. The figures have abstract and mechanical appearances, with bodies made of segments resembling gears. One figure extends an arm towards the other, who is in a defensive stance. The composition is set against a flat background without much detail.
