Saint Andrew is a 1500 tempera by Unknown, a Early Renaissance work, depicting Andrew the Apostle, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
The painting depicts a man with long, wavy brown hair and a beard, wearing a red robe and a green cloak. He holds a book in his left hand and a large cross in his right. The background is a warm, textured beige. The man's gaze is directed downward, and his expression is contemplative. The book he holds appears to be open, with text visible on its pages. The cross he carries is tall and slender, with a simple design. The painting's use of tempera creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and hands.
