Saint Simon

About this work

This woodcut print depicts a man with a long white beard and hair, dressed in a robe. He holds a saw in his right hand, and his left hand is clasped together in front of him. The background is a simple beige color, with a halo of light surrounding the man's head. The man's attire and the saw he holds suggest that he may be a saint or a biblical figure. The level of detail in the print, particularly in the man's facial features and clothing, is impressive given the medium.
