This drawing by Flemish Baroque artist Gaspar de Crayer depicts a representation of God the Father in a dynamic, expressive pose. The figure is shown in profile, partially obscured by billowing drapery, with his right hand resting on a large sphere. This composition was likely intended for a decorative element in a larger architectural scheme, possibly as a keystone or a segment of a frieze. Crayer's masterful use of line and shading in this drawing conveys both the figure's monumental scale and the dynamism of its form.
