About this work

This painting shows a man, possibly a saint, with a serious expression. He's dressed in simple clothes and has a strong face. The artist's attention to detail is interesting, especially in the folds of the man's clothes and the lines on his face. The subject's hands and face are very realistic, showing the artist's skill. This level of detail suggests the artist was trying to show the subject's personality. Check out the work of artist: Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528) to see more.
