Saint Peter praying, half figure c. 1670s

"Saint Peter praying, half figure" is a drawing by Flemish artist Matthys van den Bergh, created in the 1670s. The drawing depicts a close-up of Saint Peter, an apostle of Jesus, in prayer. His face is marked by age and his hands are clasped together in fervent prayer. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, enhancing the sense of realism and piety in this devotional drawing.
