"Saint Roch with a donor and a dog at left" is an etching created by Francesco Brizio in 1602-1603. The piece depicts Saint Roch, a 14th-century French saint, standing with a dog by his side. A donor is kneeling before the saint, offering his prayers. The etching is a powerful depiction of the saint's piety and devotion to helping those in need. The style of the artwork is reminiscent of the Mannerist movement, with elongated figures and dramatic poses. Brizio's use of light and shadow contributes to the sense of depth and realism in the image. The etching is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
