Saint Matthew

About this work

The painting depicts a man sitting by a window, holding a book and a quill. He is dressed in a long robe and turban, with his legs crossed. Behind him, an angel is visible, with large wings and a halo. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the right side. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The man's pose and expression suggest a sense of contemplation and focus. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who used etching as a technique, such as Hédouin, Edmond.
