A drawing of the interior of a church or chapel with the body of St Filippo Benizzi laid out on a bier flanked by mourners. On the ground before the bier are two small figures, one lying and the other rising with one hand raised. After a fresco from the cycle depicting episodes from the life of St Filippo Benizi by Andrea del Sarto in the forecourt of the Church of SS. Annunziata in Florence.
