Saint Martin of Tours and the Beggar is a 1500 oil by Unknown, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a scene with a man on horseback, dressed in a red robe and a crown, holding a sword and a piece of fabric. He is standing next to a man with a crutch, who is wearing a brown tunic and has a red cape draped over his shoulder. The background features a castle and a landscape with rolling hills and trees. The man on horseback appears to be offering the fabric to the man with the crutch, who is looking up at him. The scene is rendered in oil paint, with attention to detail in the textures of the clothing and the surroundings.
