This drawing shows three men in a flat, shadowy space. The center figure stands naked, his hands raised, with a calm face and a halo. The man on the left leans on a tall cross, wearing a loose robe and a belt. The man on the right holds a spear and a flag, dressed in armor with a belt and sandals. The center figure’s body looks solid and detailed, almost like it’s carved from stone. The shadows and light make the muscles stand out sharply. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists used light and dark like this.
