Saint Paul

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure standing in an architectural niche, with one foot slightly in front of the other. The person has an aged appearance, a long beard, and hair that reaches the nape of their neck. They wear a flowing robe and hold a sword in their right hand. A simple arch design with light hatching patterns is behind them, and there is a faint halo around their head. The background is plain, with no other objects or characters present.
