Pietro Perugino

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch with several figures. In the center, there is a nude figure standing facing a clothed figure with a raised arm. Other smaller and less detailed figures surround them, some sitting or kneeling. The background shows a natural landscape with rocks, cliffs, and a river. The sketch is done in a loose style on toned paper.
