Saint Peter

Israhel van Meckenem

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from head to toe, standing upright. The individual has detailed facial features, a serene expression, and short, curly hair. They wear elaborate, flowing robes with decoration, including a cloak or robe with fastenings. They hold a book in their left hand and a staff in their right hand, topped with a cross-like design. A ribbon-like banner with text flows behind them. The background is plain with horizontal lines suggesting a floor. A circular halo surrounds the figure's head.
