"Saint Matthew"
This painting depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
He is depicted in a dignified, apostolic pose, with a long beard and a serious facial expression.
In one hand he holds an open book, symbolizing his connection to the proclamation and teaching of the Gospel. His other hand is raised and holds a knife – an attribute alluding to his martyrdom. On his feet he wears simple sandals, emphasizing his humility.
The depiction is characterized by religious seriousness and iconographic depth.

The painting is old. Some areas have already been restored, while others may require minor repairs (see photos). It is offered unframed.
