- Physical Description
- Loosely drawn figure studies principally seen from below and scattered across the sheet. Most of the figures are seated or stretching upwards away from the viewer. Drawing indicates a varied degree of finish; some figures seem to have been fairly carefully drawn with proper foreshortening of the figures while others are more summarily described.
- Subject Matter
- Although now lost, Palma il Giovane's painting of the Assumption of the Virgin showed Christ leading the Virgin towards heaven while surrounded by the forty elders of the Apocalypse and angels.
