Saint Filippo Benizzi Healing a Beggar

after Andrea del Sarto

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a landscape with a group of figures. The scene features clouds at the top, a barren tree in the center, and rocky terrain. Various groups of figures are positioned in classical poses across different parts of the image. Some are shown in discussion while others interact with the environment. Architectural elements in the distance break the horizon to the right. The figures' garments and features suggest a narrative unfolding in the stylized natural landscape.
