The Martyrdom of St. Lawrence. Ink and highlighting on paper, signed at the lower edge, hinged into a mat, not framed. The paper measures 13-3/4" x 8-1/2", and the matting 21-3/4" x 16". There is a cut and pieced printed title page from an auction in 1914 in which this drawing was included, and the catalog listing for the lot, #38.

This is very similar to another sketch on this subjext, which shoes the grid lines throughout the image; lot 131, Christie's New York, January 10, 1996.
