This red chalk drawing, "Standing Young Man in a Coat to the Left (an Apostle)," depicts a young man in a flowing robe with his right hand extended, likely gesturing. The artist, Domenico Cresti (1559-1638), utilized cross-hatching to render the figure, creating subtle shadows and defining the forms. The drawing was likely a preparatory sketch for a larger painting, demonstrating Cresti's mastery of anatomy and drapery. The piece is now housed in the Städel Museum, offering a glimpse into the artistic process of the Italian Renaissance.
