Martin Luther as an Augustinian Monk
A woodcut depicting Martin Luther in the garb of an Augustinian Monk. Below Luther is a traditional Luther rose. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription, mirrored as the image was printed in reverse, reading "DOCTOR MARTINUS LUTTER AUGUSTINER: WITTENB:". This is purported to be the earliest depiction of Luther.
