Saint Martin Dividing His Cloak

Martin Schongauer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures. The person on the left is standing, holding a sword and a draped fabric. They have curly, medium-length hair, a beard, and are wearing elaborate clothing. The person on the right is kneeling, unclothed, with a strained facial expression looking up at the standing figure. The backdrop is plain.
