"Sitzender Prophet mit einer Tafel" is a red chalk drawing by Domenico Cresti, also known as Il Passignano, an Italian artist active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The drawing, located in the Städel Museum, depicts a seated prophet holding a tablet, likely a study for a larger work. The artist's masterful use of hatching and shading gives depth and volume to the figure, highlighting the prophet's contemplative pose and the intricate folds of his drapery. The drawing is a testament to Passignano's skill in capturing both the physical and the spiritual aspects of his subjects, making it a compelling example of Italian Renaissance art.
