Additional description from Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris (© - Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris - www.petitpalais.paris.fr)

This sketch for the Chapel of Compassion of the Saint-Roch church in Paris is the Christ down from the cross. The lower part of the work is almost an accurate quotation of a work by Fra Bartolomeo (Florence, Museum of San Marco) which is a preparatory drawing in the Louvre Museum (inv 1672.D.): Christ is elongated, supported by St. John and mourned by Mary Magdalene. The Virgin, standing in the center of the composition, stabilizes the assembly and the link between the two parallel horizontal, created by the arms of the cross and the dead body of his son.

This sketch draft one of the two compositions commissioned Sebastien Cornu in 1856 for the chapel of Compassion church Saint Roch in Paris.

Christ Jesus; Marie Sainte (Virgin, biblical character); Jean (says the Evangelist, St); Madeleine (called Marie-Madeleine; holy)
