17th-century Italy

Youth Playing a Pipe for a Satyr, by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, 1645–50
The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew, by Caravaggio, 1606–7
A work made of oil on canvas.
A work made of etching in black on cream laid paper.
The image shows a drawing of three figures. The central figure is seated, leaning slightly forward with one arm outstretched towards the standing figures. They have short, slightly messy hair, traditional clothing, and muscular limbs. The standing figures on the right are partially obscured but appear to interact with the seated figure. One of them is extending their arm towards the seated figure. The individuals wear layered clothing, with one wearing a head covering. The background is simple, emphasizing the interaction between the figures. The drawing style is classical or historical, using ink and wash for texture and depth.
