Fragment of a scene with classical figures, chiaroscuro drawing. Brush (black), grey wash, white heightening, on dark olive-green prepared paper, 20. 4 × 18. 7 cm, state graphics collection, munich. Scholars have been unable to divine the subject of this drawing, or whether it was part of an independent work or a design for a panel or wall painting (müller, 214–16). It seems to have been cut from the same sheet as a night scene on a river bank, which may have formed part of the background. Date: circa 1520.
