This drawing shows a bare-chested man standing beside a broken pillar. He’s holding a round stone in one hand and resting his other arm on the pillar. His hair is curly, and he’s barefoot, standing on a small platform. The pillar looks damaged, with chunks missing. The artist used shading to make the figure and stone look three-dimensional.
