Mariotto di Martino

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene involving judicial proceedings or interrogation. The drawing depicts a dimly lit interior where a figure is suspended by their wrists from the ceiling, being observed by several other figures. The suspended figure is stripped. To the right, there are three seated individuals. On the left, a figure appears to be gesturing or explaining something. The room is sparsely furnished, with a side table visible in the foreground.
