This anonymous 18th-century drawing depicts Saint James the Greater, a prominent figure in Christianity. The drawing, executed in brown ink on paper, showcases the saint in a dramatic pose, kneeling and clutching a staff. His attire, likely a pilgrim's cloak, and the staff are characteristic attributes associated with St. James. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this poignant portrayal of a revered religious figure.
