Kneeling, praying boy 

"Kneeling, praying boy" is a red chalk drawing by Italian artist Santi di Tito, who was active during the late Renaissance period. The drawing, which depicts a boy kneeling in prayer, is a study for a larger composition. It exemplifies di Tito's mastery of figure drawing and the expressive potential of red chalk, a medium he frequently employed. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
