Unidentified
Apostle (St. Matthias?)
Detail from a retable
fragment
in the Metropolitan Museum
With his right hand the saint holds a scroll, which is sometimes the
attribute of St. Matthias. None of the other apostles in the
fragment has a scroll. The object in his left hand could conceivable be
a book, which is also at times an attribute of St. Matthias.
