St Paul seated, and a standing man with hat and billowing mantle 1544 - 1615

Filippo Paladini's "St Paul seated, and a standing man with hat and billowing mantle" is a 16th century Italian drawing, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. The artwork, completed sometime between 1544 and 1615, depicts a seated Saint Paul with a long beard, holding a staff and a book, alongside a standing man with a hat and cloak, in an expressive, gestural style. This preliminary drawing, likely done in preparation for a larger painting, demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing both anatomical form and the dramatic flow of drapery.
