St. Judas is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man standing barefoot in a simple room. He has one arm raised and holds a staff in his other hand. His clothes are loose, and he looks serious. The background shows a rough wall and a small ledge with a few scattered objects. The name "S. IVDAS" is written on the left side, which likely stands for St. Judas. His simple clothes and staff suggest he might be a holy figure. Next, look up Renaissance.
