(24.5 x 37.5 cm), Drawings, Michele da Verona (Italian, Verona ca. 1470–Verona 1536/1544), This sheet is composed of three separate fragments pieced together by the artist and reworked so as to eliminate the figure of the young John the Baptist, who formerly appeared below the Christ Child where Saint Sebastian now kneels (evident from the reference to John in the remains of a cartouche inscribed 'Agnus Dei')
