Saint Andrew

Israhel van Meckenem after Master E.S.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing with a slight tilt in his posture, holding an X-shaped object. He has long hair and a beard, a prominent nose, and appears slightly aged. He wears a long robe, with the fabric draping in folds, and he is barefoot on a tiled floor. A halo adorns his head, and he wears a bracelet on his wrist. The background is a plain, etched surface, with an inscription reading "Andreas" to the left.
