Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata

Venetian Painting, c. 1530

This is a drawing of a forest scene. The artwork depicts a person with a hooded cloak kneeling beneath a canopy of leafy trees, reaching upward. The forest surrounds with trees and foliage detailed, with a path between them. In the distance, a castle can be faintly seen. The atmosphere is contemplative, with light suggesting a significant occurrence. Texture and form of the foliage and garments adds depth to the drawing.
