This woodcut shows a bearded man in a long robe, walking through a forest. He holds a staff and a small object in his other hand, with a halo around his head. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the sky has wavy, cloud-like lines. The name at the bottom reads *Sanctus Colomannus*, meaning this is a holy figure. The style looks old, with sharp lines and no color—just black and white. Look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
