Noli me tangere is a 1450 ink by Ludwig of Ulm, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two figures outdoors. One stands in a red robe with a glowing halo, pointing toward the other person kneeling on the ground. The kneeling figure wears a pale cloak and also has a halo, holding a small jar. Behind them, a tree and some stacked objects appear in the background. The standing figure’s gesture looks like a warning, and the kneeling person seems to be reaching out. This scene feels like a moment of surprise or teaching. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
