Saint Bartholomew

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a bearded man in flowing robes. He stands with one hand on his chest, holding what looks like a knife or book. His other hand rests on his hip, and he wears a halo behind his head. The background is plain, with a simple patterned floor. The name "Sanctus Bartholomeus" is written above him, which likely means this is a religious figure. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing how the fabric folds and the man’s muscles. This is made using engraving, a technique where lines are carved into metal.
