Saint Francis of Assisi

Frühe Holzschnitte, 1450/1470

The image shows two figures in a religious setting. The central figure is kneeling with both hands raised, short hair with a fringe, marks on their hands, and a stylized face with wide-open eyes. To the left is a winged figure with a halo, offering something to the central figure. The background is a simple landscape with a green ground and a neutral-colored sky, bordered with a frame.
