Two Standing Courtiers

Pietro Fancelli

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of two individuals dressed in historical or traditional clothing. The figures are standing, with one facing slightly left extending an arm while the other stands behind with a decorative headpiece. Both are draped in robes and surrounded by faint sketch lines of other items or figures. The backdrop shows indistinct shapes resembling an interior setting.
