Studies for a Servant in "The Last Supper"

Federico Barocci

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person's left arm extending downwards over a rounded object in the lap, possibly a basket or bowl. The right leg is also depicted, bent to show the ankle and foot. The person's face and hair are not visible. The person appears to be sitting. Clothing details are minimal, and the background is a simple, textured surface.
