Saint James the Greater

Master of the Berlin Passion

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing upright. The person has a contemplative expression and a beard, with hair partly visible under a large hat with a shell design. They wear a long robe with a cloak, fastened at the shoulder with a clasp, and pointed shoes. The person holds a staff in their right hand and their left hand rests on their abdomen. A scroll with decorative text surrounds the figure, and the background is a plain, textured surface. The stone floor is visible beneath their feet.
