Occīdō image by Juliet Burns | Dickinson College Commentaries

Ink and marker drawing in two registers. The top register covers one-third of the page and features three silhouettes illustrating a spear being thrown: (1) preparation with spear and right arm drawn back, (2) mid throw, stepping forward, spear overhead, (3) release, right arm outstretched. The bottom register, features dark-skinned, bearded man wearing a green skirt, holding a sword aloft in his right hand. He is collapsing backward, the spear having pierced his stomach. Blood pools beneath him.
