St. Luke

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

St. Luke by Lucas van Leyden: A seated man wearing a long robe and cloak, with a hood covering his head, sits on a bull or ox; the animal has one foreleg stretched out in front and the other bent. The man holds an inkwell in his right hand and a quill in his left as he writes in a book on his lap. A closed book lies on the ground beside him. The background shows a tree trunk and bare branches. A small square icon is present in the bottom-right corner. The scene is depicted in grayscale with detailed lines and shading.
