Saint Dominic

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a robed man holding a book and a long staff. His face is serious, with a pointed hat and curly hair. The background is simple—just a few lines for a floor and a small decorative border at the top. The name "Dominicus" is written above his head, and the artist signed it "Israhel" at the bottom. The lines are made by scratching into the metal plate, a method called engraving. Look up engraving to see how artists create these sharp, detailed prints.
