Court of the Former State Inquisitors

Giovanni De Pian, after Francesco Galimberti

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing showing a group of robed figures seated behind a large table in a formal setting. The table is illuminated by lamps, with two flames on it. The background has drapery, a doorway to the left, and a framed artwork above. The central focus is on a standing figure presenting documents to the seated figures. The setting suggests a judicial or inquisitorial environment. An inscription at the bottom provides historical context.
