Saint Paul

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man with a halo, dressed in a long robe. He holds a sword in one hand and a small box in the other. His feet are bare, and a hat lies on the ground beside him. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth in the folds of his clothing. This style was common in Renaissance prints. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints with metal plates.
