Saint Mark the Evangelist is a 1600 ink by Peter Candid, a Baroque work, depicting John the Evangelist, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Saint Mark the Evangelist. He's sitting at a desk, writing. The artist used a mix of pen, ink, and wash to create this image, which is a common technique for drawings from this time, and this detail makes the work interesting because it shows the artist's skill with different materials. The artist's use of light and dark is also notable, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: cross-hatching.
