This red chalk drawing by French Baroque artist Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet, created between 1670 and 1680, depicts a scene from the Book of Acts. The drawing shows Saint Peter healing the sick through the power of his shadow. The drawing is composed on a gridded paper, perhaps to aid in the transfer of the composition to a finished painting, and has a strong sense of movement and dynamism. This detail study, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, reveals the artist's skillful hand and planning process.
