Sanctus Bartholomeaus is a 1744 ink by Marco Alvise Pitteri, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows an older man with a long beard and white hair. He’s holding a large book open in his hands, looking down at it with a serious expression. The background is plain, so the focus stays on his face and the book. The name at the bottom reads *Sanctus Bartholomeaus*, which means this is likely Saint Bartholomew, a religious figure. The artist’s name, *Pitteri*, is also signed here. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
