This woodcut shows a bearded man in a red robe and green fur-lined cloak, holding a long staff. His hat is orange and brown, and his face looks serious. Below him is a small scene with a chair and a book, plus German text in neat lines. The text is about Jude, one of Jesus’s apostles, preaching to a king. The artist made this print in the 1560s, long after the Bible stories happened. If you like this style, look up Lucas Cranach the Elder, After.
