Saint Philip is a 1626 ink by Italian 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut on laid paper depicts a man standing with his feet bare, wearing a long robe with a cloak draped over his shoulder. He holds a cross in his right hand and has a halo around his head. The man's long hair and beard are visible, and he appears to be looking down. The image is rendered in a simple, yet detailed style, with visible lines and shading that give the figure depth and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Renaissance movement.
