Priest Carrying the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist

About this work

This drawing shows a priest in a long robe and hat, holding a small golden object. The robe drapes over his shoulders, and his feet rest on a simple floor. The lines are dark and sharp, making the folds of his clothes look textured. The artist used a technique that creates fine details with lines pressed into the metal plate. This kind of drawing was often used to show religious scenes in a dramatic way. Next, check out the technique: etching.
