Pen and brown ink drawing on paper of two crowded scenes: an upper hall with a figure and a nude youth, a lower crowd around a draped bier with columns behind.

Apollonius Curing a Young Athenian Possessed of a Demon [above]; Apollonius Raising a Girl from the Dead in Rome [below]

A pen and brown ink drawing with wash on laid paper shows two scenes stacked on one sheet. The upper scene shows a crowded hall with a robed figure reaching toward a nude youth on a pedestal, while the lower shows a dense crowd gathered around a draped bier.
