The "Ovens," for Those Who Wouldn't Admit Their Crimes

Giovanni De Pian, after Francesco Galimberti

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man lying on his side on a stone bed, curled up with his head resting on his hands facing left. He has a somber expression, short dark hair, and is wearing a long shirt, loose-fitting pants, and dark shoes. The surrounding area is a dim, arched stone structure resembling a prison cell, with a wooden bucket and bricks in the background.
