About this work

This image is an engraving of a man dressed in robes, holding a saw in his right hand. He has long, curly hair and a beard, and his feet are bare. A halo surrounds his head, and he wears a long, flowing robe with a cloak draped over his shoulders. The man's facial expression is serious, and he looks straight ahead. The background of the image is plain, with no other objects or details visible. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. The artist who created this engraving is Lucas van Leyden.
