A sketch by William Blake from around 1780 depicts a nude figure with arms extended, drawn on both sides of the sheet to show the front and back views. The back view of the figure was later incorporated into plate 76 of Blake’s work *Jerusalem*, where it represents Albion worshipping the crucified Christ.
