Saint Matthew is a 1626 ink by Italian 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a saintly figure, Saint Matthew, standing in a simple yet elegant pose. He is dressed in a long robe with his right hand resting on his hip, while his left hand holds a book against his body. The saint's facial expression is calm and contemplative, with a subtle hint of a smile. The artist's use of woodcut on laid paper creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The lines are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of serenity and devotion.
