Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Apostle Thomas, depicted by Albrecht Dürer, shows a man with long wavy hair and a long beard, wearing a robe that covers his body and one shoulder. He is barefoot and holds a spear in his right hand. His left hand holds a book against his body. A halo of radiating lines surrounds his head. He stands on a ground with grass and a stone block to his left. The block bears an inscription and the artist's initials. The background is plain.
