Saint Dominic

Italienische Grafik 1395–1568, ca. 1450

The image shows a man standing in a frontal position. He has a halo around his head, short, straight hair, a beard and mustache. He wears a long robe and holds a long cross with a figure of Christ on it and a small church structure. The background has two sections: the man in front of pillars with draped fabric, and an upper scene with figures in a domestic setting near a bed. The image is rendered in a style resembling a medieval or early religious art illustration on aged paper.
