About this work

This painting is called An Aedicule with Two Studies of Saint Christopher. It was made around 1340 by an Austrian artist. The artist used pen and black ink with black wash on vellum to create it. I don't know what the image looks like, but I can tell you it's from the 14th century. The use of vellum as a medium is interesting because it was a common material used during that time period. You can find this artwork at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
