Israhel van Meckenem after Master E.S.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body engraving of a standing figure in profile, facing right. The person is walking, indicated by their slightly forward-leaning posture. The figure has a prominent nose, a high forehead, and a shaved head with short hair. They wear a long robe and hold a book in their left hand and a staff with a cross in their right hand. The background is plain with a tiled surface pattern on the floor.
