Saint Philip

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a barefoot male holding a staff with a cross in his right hand and a scroll in his left hand. He has a long beard and short, slightly curled hair. He wears a robe that covers his body from shoulders to feet, with folds indicating movement. The background is plain with some plants near his feet on a rocky surface. Text is present in the upper left corner and the year "1545" is inscribed on the left side of the image.
