Persoon knielend voor een bisschop 1686 - 1779

"Persoon knielend voor een bisschop" (Person Kneeling before a Bishop) is a drawing by Marco Ricci, created between 1686 and 1779. It depicts a scene of a kneeling figure paying homage to a bishop, surrounded by other figures. The drawing, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, is executed in pen and brown ink on paper, measuring 201 mm in height and 276 mm in width. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing suggest a quick sketch, possibly made as a preparatory study for a larger work.
