An Italian Pilgrim 1825 - 1849

"An Italian Pilgrim" is a watercolor painting created by Dominique-Ferréol-Louis Papety between 1825 and 1849. The painting depicts a man in traditional pilgrim attire, wearing a long red robe, a brown cloak, and a wide-brimmed hat. He carries a staff with a golden top, symbolizing his journey. The painting is a study in detail and realism, capturing the textures of the pilgrim's clothing and the subtle expressions on his face. It provides a glimpse into the lives of Italian pilgrims in the 19th century, offering a sense of their faith and purpose. This work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
