Saint Andrew

About this work

This drawing shows a robed figure standing upright, holding a book or scroll. The person’s face is calm, with soft shading around the eyes and mouth. The clothing looks heavy and textured, with deep folds and shadows. The artist used a mix of red chalk and washes to create rich, warm tones—mostly browns and reds. The background is plain, so the focus stays on the figure’s draped fabric. Want to see how artists like this used light and shadow? Look up *chiaroscuro*.
