St. Mark is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a man dressed in a robe and head covering, holding a sword in his right hand. He stands on a rocky terrain with sparse vegetation. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with some text and numbers visible. The man's attire and the sword suggest a sense of importance or authority. The rocky terrain and sparse vegetation create a sense of desolation or isolation. The image appears to be a representation of a religious figure, possibly a saint.
