The Conversion of St. Paul

A dense engraved scene of armed soldiers on foot and horseback moving through a rocky, wooded landscape, with a dog in the lower left foreground. Fine cross-hatched lines model the figures, horses and craggy cliffs, and a distant group of figures appears on the left. The record identifies it as The Conversion of St. Paul, an 1509 engraving.
