The "Sotto Piombi," Where Death Sentences Were Read

Giovanni De Pian, after Francesco Galimberti

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene inside a dimly lit room. There are three people standing on the left side of the room, two of them looking at a document held by another character. A fourth person is seated on a bed to the right, holding an object. A clerical figure is seated next to them. The room has wooden paneling with a simple table and a plate on the floor.
