Saint Philip

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a serious-looking man in robes. He’s kneeling on a patterned floor, holding a book open in one hand and a tall cross in the other. His face is round, with a short beard and glasses. The lines are sharp, showing every fold in his clothes. The name *Philip* is written above his head, and the artist signed it in the corner. This kind of careful linework is typical of the time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
