Saint Matthias (?)

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a bearded man dressed in flowing robes. He stands with one hand resting on his chest and the other holding what looks like a book or scroll. His hair is long, and he has a halo around his head. The background is plain, with just a few lines suggesting a floor. The name at the top reads *"Sanctus Mathias"*, meaning this is likely a religious figure. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the robes a three-dimensional look. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
