St. Francis Beneath a Tree Praying

Rembrandt van Rijn

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man with a long white beard kneeling by a tree, hands clasped in prayer. He wears a simple long-sleeved robe and a rope around his waist. A building with a domed roof and cross is visible in the background. The man sits on the ground with his knees bent, to the left of a large tree trunk. A signature is present in the bottom right corner. The scene includes foliage and trees surrounding the man and building. The image is rendered in detailed, cross-hatching lines.
