Saint Bartholomew

Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up in a seated position with his body slightly turned to the left while he looks upward. His facial features include a full beard and curly hair. He is wearing a loose-fitting, long-sleeved garment. His hands are resting, with one hand laid over the other across his lap. In the background, there is a detailed landscape with rocks, hills, and a distant building or castle against a cloudy sky. The style of the image is highly detailed, resembling a classical engraving. Beneath the image, there is a Latin inscription and some decorative linework.
