About this work

This drawing shows Saint Nicholas in long robes, holding a book and three golden balls. His face has a calm, serious look. The lines are sharp and precise, with tiny dots adding texture. It’s a devotional image meant for prayer. The artist used cross-hatching and stippling to create depth. These techniques make the folds in his clothes and the folds in his face stand out. Look up icons (devotional images), ethnography to see more works like this.
