Saint Paul

Italian 16th Century (formerly Jacques Stella)

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body drawing of a person standing upright. The individual is holding a long staff in their right hand while resting their left arm on a scroll. They have long, wavy hair and a full beard that flows down over their chest. The person has a halo around their head. They are clothed in a draped garment that falls to their feet, with detailed folds and textures. The art is on a plain background, and at the bottom, text reads "S PAVLVS APOSTOLUS," identifying the person as Saint Paul.
