Saint Peter

after Francesco Salviati

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body drawing of a bearded man in a dynamic posture, standing with a slight lean to his left. He has a curly hairstyle framing his facial features, including a prominent brow and slightly furrowed brows. He is dressed in classical attire with a draped cloak, and holds a large key in his right hand and a book in his left hand. The background is a plain texture and the sketch is framed with a rectangular border.
