Watercolor of two bearded men in pink and blue clouds reaching toward each other, with a pale nude figure below among radiating rays of light.

St Peter and St James with Dante and Beatrice

A luminous watercolor and ink drawing in pinks, blues and yellows shows two bearded men in swirling clouds reaching their hands toward each other above. Below, a pale nude figure floats with arms outstretched amid radiating rays of light. The loose washes and pen lines create a dreamlike, celestial composition.

Español: Dos figuras barbudas entre nubes con un desnudo flotante, acuarela

Un dibujo luminoso en acuarela y tinta, en tonos rosados, azules y amarillos, muestra a dos hombres barbudos en nubes arremolinadas que extienden las manos el uno hacia el otro en la parte superior. Abajo, una figura desnuda y pálida flota con los brazos extendidos entre rayos de luz que irradian. Las aguadas sueltas y los trazos de pluma crean una composición onírica y celestial.
