This small, detailed engraving by Dirck Vellert, possibly from 1524, depicts a scene from the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. The engraving, which is only 76mm tall by 50mm wide, shows Elizabeth, a Hungarian princess, offering alms to a beggar. Vellert creates a strong sense of empathy by rendering the beggar's disability with detail, while showing Elizabeth in the act of giving. The engraving also features decorative flourishes and stylistic elements typical of the Northern Renaissance art movement.
