Praying monk, bust 

Gian Antonio Burrini's "Praying Monk, Bust" is a red chalk drawing depicting a cloaked monk in prayer. The figure is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the monk's posture, hands clasped in prayer, and the subtle folds of his garment. The drawing is characterized by its use of shading and hatching to create a sense of volume and depth. The work is housed in the Städel Museum and likely dates back to the late 17th or early 18th century.
