Evangelist 1665 - 1698

"Evangelist" is an etching by Johann Jakob von Sandrart, created between 1665 and 1698. The artwork depicts a seated figure, likely an apostle, with a book in hand and gesturing with the other hand. The subject is positioned within a niche, creating a sense of depth. Sandrart's use of shading and detail highlights the figure's drapery and the architectural setting. This work is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
