Der heilige Petrus

Italienische Malerei 1430–1460, um 1445/1450

This painting depicts a man standing, slightly turned to the left. He has pale skin, curly, greyish-white hair, and a short gray beard. He wears a golden robe with intricate designs on the hems over a purple garment with gold stripes on the neck and shoulders. He holds a large object in his right hand that looks like a gold key, and in his left hand he holds a red book. A golden halo surrounds his head. He stands barefoot on a small platform with grass within a reddish-brown border against a black surface. Behind him is a blue background.
