Prometheus or Tityus: pencil sketch by Vincenzo Camuccini
A faint graphite sketch shows a nude man reclining on a stone ledge while a large winged bird, likely an eagle, bends over him with outspread wings. The figure's arms are raised and his head turns back, set within a thin ruled rectangle on a pale cream sheet.
