St. Martin Dividing His Cloak for a Beggar

Israhel van Meckenem

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a man with long curly hair and a beard wearing a long robe over 16th-century clothing, holding a sword in one hand and a cloak in the other. A shirtless man sits on one knee, the other leg bent in front, arms raised to receive the cloak. The standing man appears to be cutting his cloak in half with the sword. The background is plain with no distinct features. The image is a drawing or engraving with detailed lines and shading.
