Saint Peter

About this work

This drawing shows a bearded man in a long robe, holding a set of keys in one hand. His hair is wavy, and he’s standing with one foot slightly forward. The background is simple—just a few lines for a floor and a tiny plant in the corner. The keys he holds are a big clue about who he might be. The artist used fine lines and shading to make the cloth look real and textured. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
