Man Seated by a Palm Tree

Benedetto Montagna

National Gallery of Art

The image shows most of a person's body, seated on rocky terrain. The person is in a sitting position with one knee raised, holding onto a palm tree. The person's face is shown in profile, with curly, shoulder-length hair and distinct facial features. They are wearing a draped garment, resembling a classical robe. Surrounding them is a rocky landscape with uneven and textured ground. In the background, there is a palm tree, and there are initials "B" and "M" along with "Guidotti fo." at the bottom of the image.
