About the Item

The drawing depicts Saint Francis of Assisi at the moment of receiving the stigmata, rendered in a restrained and devotional manner characteristic of the German school. Francis kneels in a rocky landscape, his body slightly turned yet firmly grounded, the folds of his habit falling heavily around him and emphasizing his humility and physical presence. His hands are raised in a gesture of surrender and awe, palms open as if receiving the divine wounds. The marks of the stigmata are subtly indicated, treated not as sensational detail but as sacred signs. A soft yellow halo encircles his head, its muted glow standing out gently against the warm, sepia-toned ground of the drawing. Francis’s face is lifted upward, his gaze fixed toward heaven, where the invisible presence of the crucified Christ is implied rather than shown. This upward look conveys intense spiritual absorption: a moment suspended between earth and the divine. The artist relies on posture and expression rather than overt drama to communicate the miracle, giving the scene a quiet but profound emotional gravity. In the background, a second monk appears, partially obscured and set at a distance. His presence reinforces the narrative tradition of the stigmatization, suggesting witness without intrusion. He remains secondary to Francis, both compositionally and spiritually, his subdued placement allowing the focus to remain on the saint’s solitary encounter with God. The landscape itself is sparse and understated, sketched with light, economical lines that frame rather than compete with the figure. Architectural or distant elements fade softly into the background, enhancing the contemplative atmosphere. Overall, the drawing reflects a devotional sensibility rooted in clarity, humility, and inward intensity, favouring spiritual focus over theatrical display. It is a quiet, reverent interpretation of one of Saint Francis’s most profound mystical experiences. Size of the drawing without the frame are 34.5 x 17.5 cm. Unsigned
