St. Marcarius

Günther Zainer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts St. Marcarius by Günther Zainer, a square illustration with a reddish-brown border. The background of the image is off-white with a textured appearance and darker shading toward the center. In the center, a nude man with long brown hair and a halo stands on a green area with horizontal lines suggesting grass or ground. The man has his left arm bent up at the elbow with the hand near his chest and his right arm extended out to the right. He appears to be standing with his weight on his right leg and his left foot extended to the left. On either side of the man are trees with green leaves and light-colored trunks. The trees are drawn with a minimalist style, having only a few lines to suggest their shape.
