Saint Peter and Saint John Healing a Cripple at the Gate of the Temple

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This print shows multiple people in a detailed black-and-white composition. At the center of the image is an elderly man, with a long beard and short, thinning hair, dressed in a long white robe. He is standing, facing the left, reaching down towards an emaciated person sitting on the ground. Other individuals with various draped clothing and tall hats are around them. One person on the far left appears to be a soldier, and another holds a coin purse. The people are in front of a wall with a large column on the left and an opening on the right side.
