Saint Roch with a Donor

Francesco Brizio, after Parmigianino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men. One man is standing upright with his right arm bent upwards towards his chest. He has strong facial features, a defined jawline, a short beard, and curly hair. He wears a loose garment draped over his shoulders and a cloak. The other man is kneeling and looking up at the standing man. He has an elderly appearance with a pronounced nose, a beard, and short hair, and wears a fur-trimmed coat. Next to the kneeling man is a dog looking towards the standing man. The background features textured foliage, trees, shrubbery, clouds, and sunlight.
