Saint Guilhelmus

Cornelis Liefrinck I, after Leonhard Beck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing on a rocky ground in a forest. He is leaning on a large staff with his right hand and holding a hatchet in his left. He has a long white beard and wears a hooded cape over a long robe. There is an aureole around his head. A basket and a shield with fleur-de-lis are in the foreground. Trees and foliage surround him, and distant hills, a castle, and light clouds are in the background.
