Kniend betender, vornehm gekleideter Mann nach rechts (Stifterfigur_) 

This red chalk drawing by the Venetian painter Palma Vecchio, active between c. 1480 and 1528, depicts a man in prayer. The figure, likely a donor of the work, is rendered with a delicate and precise line, highlighting the detail of his clothing and the folds of his drapery. The simple composition focuses the viewer’s attention on the figure’s gesture of prayer and his solemn expression. While the work is unsigned and undated, its stylistic characteristics suggest a date around 1520. The drawing is currently housed at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main.
