Bearing the inscription “Veracini” in later hand Gift of George Hubbard Clapp, 41.4
This drawing shows five figures, centering on St. Bartholomew holding his flayed skin in the air. Because the smaller drawings resemble well-known statues in the Vatican, the drawing is probably a study by a sculptor seeking to record the poses of three-dimensional figures.
