Thomas c. 1555 - 1565

This anonymous engraving from the 16th century, "Thomas," is a portrait of the apostle, depicted with a long spear in his right hand and a loose-fitting robe draped around him. The artist used a technique of hatching to create shadows and detail the figure’s features and clothing. The engraving is a striking example of the detailed depictions of biblical figures from this period. The piece is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
