Saint Matthew

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures in close-up. One figure is in profile sitting at a desk with hand poised as if writing in an open book. The person has wavy hair, a robe, and reaches the nape of the neck. The other figure is facing forward with curly hair, gazing at the viewer with a calm expression. This figure also has large wings. In the background is a blank wall.
