Saint Matthew

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing in profile with his hands in a prayer position. He has a long beard, a prominent nose, and a halo above his head. His hair is short and curly, and he is wearing a long cloak and sandals. He is holding or leaning on a staff with his left hand. In the background, there is an architectural structure with statues and figures, as well as a tree and smaller figures. The setting appears to be outdoors with foliage and a clear sky.
