This finely executed antique pencil drawing represents Christ Among the Doctors, after a composition by Bonifacio Veronese (1487–1553), a celebrated painter of the Venetian Renaissance. Rendered in black-and-white graphite, the scene captures the youthful Christ standing at the center, elevated on temple steps and addressing a group of astonished scribes and scholars. His expressive gesture and calm presence contrast with the animated and contemplative figures surrounding him, emphasizing the theme of divine wisdom manifest in youth. The drawing closely follows earlier engravings after Veronese's original painting, likely created for devotional or academic purposes. The precise linework and classical composition reflect 19th-century academic draftsmanship, showing reverence for Renaissance models. It is signed in pencil and testifies to the continued influence of Venetian religious art well into the modern period.

This evocative 19th-century pencil drawing represents Christ Crowned with Thorns, executed after a composition by Leandro Bassano (1557–1622), a member of the renowned Venetian Bassano family of painters. The scene is rich in emotional drama, capturing the moment Christ is mocked and crowned by Roman soldiers. His bowed head and silent suffering form the poignant center of a tightly staged group, rendered with expressive shading and focused light effects reminiscent of Bassano’s chiaroscuro technique. While based on a known engraving by I. Bizzarro titled G. C. Coronato di Spine, this version transforms the printed intensity into soft graphite, preserving the complex tonal transitions and emotional charge. Likely intended as a devotional study or collector’s piece, the drawing comes from the collection of Carl Erik Schlyter (1899–1970), a noted Swedish consul and art patron.
