Saint Matthew the Evangelist is a 1741 ink by Gottfried Bernhard Götz, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a bearded man with curly hair and a long robe, holding a quill and a book. A small angel floats near his feet, peeking out from the folds of his garment. The colors are soft—pink, blue, and earthy tones—with loose, swirling lines around the edges. The text at the top reads *S. Matthæus Ev.*, which means this is Saint Matthew, one of the four Gospel writers. The artist used a mix of fine lines and shaded areas to create depth.
