I do not know the movement but it looked more like a beautifully drawn medical/anatomical picture rather than an artwork. It looked old, like a da vinci and the instrument/cello thing was not a cello the head of the instrument was a strange shape and not like a modern cello. there was a lot of detail in what was quite a small print maybe 12"x6" I am pretty sure it is not by those artists you mentioned but I am grateful for your attempt to help me |

I would hazard a guess it has something to do with cronos /saturn, or a satyr. the three stones from rope being past present future, cronos ate his own son to represent the perpetuation of time, (the faces in his arm might be symbolic of this) and the lizards/serpents can sometimes be identified with him [link to www.crystalinks.com] |

I googled cronos and saturn extensively and came up blank. I'm thinking of going back there in 2 weeks to find out what it was. the drawing was not signed. I think it was from a book because there was some text material to one side but that was obscured from where I was sitting. |

It is their way of telling you to eat shit, they believe you don't really know the difference between shit and filet mignon when it comes to artistic appreciation. You assume because it is very good, it must be famous. There are plenty of fantastic artists who are not famous, and plenty of horrible artists who are famous. |
