Study for the Seated Apostle at the Far Left in the Upper Half (Lunette) of 'The Last Judgement', from the collection of Museo di San Marco, Florence.
The two outermost figures in the rows of apostles command a prominent place in this composition: they sit in front and are the only ones who are wholly visible. There are two studies of the apostle on the left. In this first study the artist is still searching for the correct pose for the hands and head. The figure has marked highlights in white chalk on the right side, and for the chiaroscuro the background has there been hatched with black chalk.
