Saint Bartholomew

Italian 16th Century (formerly Jacques Stella)

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in a three-quarter turn, with one leg slightly bent and feet bare. The figure has curly hair, a bushy beard, defined facial features, and expressive. The individual is wearing a long robe, covering their body loosely and gathered around their arms, leaving only their hands visible. They are holding a long, curved object in one hand. The background is plain with lined textures and shading, creating a sense of depth without specific details.
