Christ and the Apostles: St. Peter and St. Paul

Hans Sebald Beham

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of two men with halos. The man on the left has short hair, a long robe, bare feet, and is holding a key; he is leaning on a staff. The man on the right has a short beard and mustache, a turban-like head covering, a short robe, sandals, and holds a sword; he stands upright. The man on the left leans against a dark area that may represent a wall or a shadow; the man on the right stands in a more lit area with a table or bench and plants behind him. Both men face to the right; the background behind their heads features radiating lines indicating their halos. A small square in the bottom-left corner contains "1520" and "HSP".
