This engraving, "Matthias," by Sebald Beham, a prominent German artist of the 16th century, depicts the apostle Matthias holding an axe and a book. The figure stands in a landscape setting, with a fence, plants, and rocks, and is framed by a sunburst emanating from above. The artist’s initials, "SB," are inscribed in the lower left corner, and the number "12" appears in the upper right corner, referencing Matthias's position in the order of apostles. Beham's fine lines and detailed rendering of the figure and landscape are characteristic of his printmaking style, known for its precision and clarity.
