L'Eremita Hor 1586

Maarten de Vos's "L'Eremita Hor" is a 1586 drawing that depicts a hermit kneeling in prayer beneath a tree. The hermit's figure is rendered in detail, with his hands clasped and his eyes closed in devotion. The surrounding woodland setting is sketched in a more loose and gestural style, with the artist focusing on capturing the overall atmosphere of solitude and contemplation. This drawing is a beautiful example of de Vos's skill in depicting both human figures and landscapes.
