Saint Vincent Ferrer Taking His Vestments

Ludovico Cardi called Cigoli

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures in historical attire. The composition features a kneeling figure surrounded by other figures. The scene is set in a grand architectural interior with columns and elaborate details. The style is reminiscent of Girolamo da Carpi, characterized by loosely rendered forms and dynamic postures. Contrast and shading add depth and movement to the scene.
