Saint Francis of Assisi is a 1585 ink by Annibale Carracci, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a man sitting on the ground, dressed in a long robe with his head bowed and hands clasped together. He is holding a cross in front of him, and a halo surrounds his head. The man is seated in a natural setting, with rocks and plants visible behind him. The engraving on laid paper is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow. The use of cross-hatching techniques adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of realism.
