Ein Mönch mit einem Engel

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, 1480/1490

This print shows two people. One is an angel with large seafoam-green wings and long wavy blonde hair, wearing a red robe. They are floating in the air with one arm raised upwards and the other resting on the head of the second person, who kneels below them on the ground. The other person is a monk in a light brown robe with a hood resting on their back, holding an open green book in their right hand with their left hand extended outwards, the palm facing up. Both people are turned towards the right, and both have pale skin with slightly rosy cheeks. The sky behind them is beige, and the ground is a dark yellow color with some thin horizontal lines.
