Renaissance, German graphic art; depiction of Matthew the Evangelist St. Matthew; ?–ca. 60 with attributes, halos, swords, stones; biblical figure; saints; religious painting style; grasses and field plants. Height 4.4 cm, width 3 cm., A monochrome engraving shows an older bearded man wearing a hooded garment and a long cloak, standing and leaning on a tall sword held with one hand; a halo of radiating lines surrounds his head. The figure's cloak displays detailed folds and crosshatching, and his visible forearm and hand rest on the sword's pommel while the other hand is partly visible under the cloak. He wears leggings and simple shoes, and his stance places one foot slightly forward on textured ground. The scene includes grassy tufts and small rocks at his feet and a rocky outcrop to one side. The image is primarily black ink on a light background with shades of gray from the engraving techniques.
