The Stigmatization of Saint Francis is a 1607 ink by Johann Matthias Kager, a Baroque work, depicting Francis of Assisi, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a simple drawing of Saint Francis with marks on his hands. The artist used simple lines and shading to create depth. This style was common for drawings at that time, and it's interesting to see how the artist used it to tell a story. Look up the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how artists create shading and texture in their work.
