Saint Benedict

Frühe Holzschnitte, 1450/1470

The image shows a person standing upright. They are facing slightly to the right with their left hand placed on their chest and their right hand holding a gold crozier. The person has a solemn expression, fine facial features, and a distinctive tonsure hairstyle. They are dressed in a dark brown monk's robe that drapes to the ground. Below their left arm is a small ornate vessel with a leafy stem. The background features green hills, stylized flowers, and bushes against a beige sky with two stars visible. On the ground nearby is an ornate, gold miter.
