This red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque painter Guercino, known for his dynamic compositions and dramatic use of light, depicts Saint Anthony of Padua kneeling before the Christ Child. The drawing's loose, expressive lines and the emphasis on the figures' gestures suggest a preliminary study for a larger painting. The simple composition and the intimate interaction between the figures create a sense of devotion and awe. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum, a renowned art institution known for its extensive collection of European paintings and drawings.
