Saint Christopher Seated by a River Bank

Albrecht Altdorfer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an old man sitting on the ground holding a stick, while a smaller figure, possibly a child, stands next to him also holding a stick. They are under a large tree with detailed bark. The background shows mountains, trees, and a town in the distance, suggesting a rural landscape. The artwork features fine line work, cross-hatching, and a monochrome color scheme of black and off-white.
