This drawing by Spanish Baroque master Bartolomé Esteban Murillo depicts Saint Francis of Assisi surrounded by angels. The scene shows Saint Francis seated, reading a book, while numerous angels surround him, some singing, others holding instruments. The artist's use of delicate brown washes, often associated with his preparatory drawings, gives the composition a sense of movement and energy. This drawing exemplifies Murillo's masterful portrayal of religious subjects, a hallmark of his career.
