Sanctus Andreas

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a bearded man. He’s looking up, his head tilted slightly. The lines are tight and detailed, especially around his face and hair. The paper has a border, and the name "Sanctus Andreas" is written below the image. The artist used lots of small lines to create shadows and texture. This style was common in old prints. Next, check out engraving to see how artists made these detailed images.
