Saint Paul, Seated

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man with a long beard and curly hair, seated with one arm outstretched and the other resting on a large book in his lap. He wears a robe that drapes over his body and extends to the ground. His expression is stern. One hand holds a staff and there are books stacked around him. In the background, there are dramatic clouds with a shaft of light shining down.
