"Staande heilige" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Theodor Matham, created between 1615 and 1676. The artwork depicts a standing holy figure, possibly a saint, with a halo and holding a staff. Two angels are depicted above, with one holding a wreath, symbolizing a heavenly reward. The etching is characterized by detailed line work and shading, typical of the Baroque period. The scene's composition, with the central figure surrounded by angels and symbolic objects, reflects the religious themes and artistry prevalent in 17th-century Dutch art. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
