This drawing of "Saint Philip Seated, Holding a Book and a Cross" by Pesellino (Francesco di Stefano) is a fine example of Early Renaissance art from the 15th century. The detail in the drapery and the subtle shading of the figure is characteristic of the period. The composition is balanced and harmonious, and the overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The drawing is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
