Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, kb. 1460

The image depicts a person standing upright. This individual is shown from head to toe, with their body slightly turned to the side and their head tilted. They have a peaceful expression, with smooth facial features and chin-length, wavy hair. The person is wearing a blue robe with a red cloak on their shoulders, and there is a golden halo around their head. They are holding a golden chalice in their left hand, from which a small dragon or snake is emerging. The background has a floral pattern in green on a beige backdrop, with a red border. The surrounding card or paper is decorated with stylized tendrils and leaves in blue and black along the edges.
