About This Work

A half-length portrait of St. Thomas shown in profile with intricate, curled hair and muscular arms, looking down at an open book. He holds a long spear, the instrument of his martyrdom, against a backdrop of craggy rocks and a distant horizon. The lower margin contains the seventh article of the Apostles' Creed in Latin.
