The Prophet Jeremiah

Giorgio Ghisi after Michelangelo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a classical-style drawing with multiple figures. In the center is a seated man with a contemplative posture, featuring a beard, curly hair, and draped robes. He holds a ring. Other figures surround him: two smaller figures at each side, muscular nude male figures above, and a man with a staff and another seated man below. The background includes arches, pillars, and a pedestal labeled "HIEREMIAS" with a smaller supporting figure.
