Male Saint Standing with Folded Arms, Facing to the Right

John Skippe after Parmigianino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a standing position. They are depicted in profile with their face turned to the left, and their hair appears windswept. The person has a beard, and there is a halo above their head. They are wearing a long, flowing garment with a cloak over their shoulders. Their feet are bare, visible under the clothing. The setting appears outdoors, with rough terrain and sparse vegetation. The background has a simple two-tone color scheme, with no detailed features, emphasizing the figure.
