Sandro Botticelli's "Saint Jean Baptiste" (1490) is a masterful example of Renaissance drawing. The artist's meticulous use of red chalk captures the figure of Saint John the Baptist with remarkable detail. Botticelli's depiction of the saint's flowing hair, draped garment, and contemplative gaze showcases his mastery of anatomy and drapery, creating a lifelike and evocative portrait. The drawing is now housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, and serves as a testament to the artist's artistic genius during a period of significant artistic innovation.
