"The Penitent Thief on the Cross" is a black chalk drawing on paper by the Italian artist Battista Franco, created between 1510 and 1561. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, and shows the figure of a thief bound to a cross. Franco's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the precise depiction of the figure's anatomy and the way the cloth drapes around the body. The drawing is currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
