Saint Matthew

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing upright, holding a staff with both hands to the left. They have short, curly hair, a rugged expression, a furrowed brow, and distinct facial features. They wear a long robe, tied at the waist, and a cloak over their shoulders. The person's bare feet are visible below. A halo-like aura surrounds their head with radiating lines. The background is plain with subtle lines.
