This high Renaissance artwork, possibly depicting Christ driving the moneychangers from the temple, exudes power and aggression. In this image, we see various figures engaged in intense action. A muscular male figure overturns a table while another stands with raised arm, displaying their strength and determination.

Michelangelo's mastery of anatomy is evident through his detailed depiction of muscles and contrapposto poses. The artist skillfully captures both the physicality and emotion of each character, creating an engaging narrative within this single sketch. Dating back to the 15th or 16th century, this artwork reflects the artistic style prevalent during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into Michelangelo's creative process as he explores different poses and compositions before executing his final masterpiece.
