Saint Dominic is a 1502 ink by Master S, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a crowded scene of robed figures gathered around a central man with a halo. The figures hold books, scrolls, and a lamb, while trees and a building peek from the background. Colors are muted—browns, reds, and greens—with some faces and hands touched up by hand. The central figure looks like a saint, surrounded by followers who seem to be listening or praying. The style is simple, with lots of lines and shading to create depth. Look up engraving next to see how artists used this technique to make detailed prints.
