Physical Description
A man, shown in three-quarter view, is seen kneeling at the left side of the image, his hands are clasped in front of him in prayer. At the lower right is a sleeping lamb nestled into a roughly indicated background.
Subject Matter
This quick sketch, consisting of rapid pen strokes on top of lightly drawn graphite lines, suggests that this was a quickly observed scene that the artist wished to quickly capture for future use, perhaps in an Adoration of the Shepherds or Nativity scene.
