Painting of a haloed bearded man in green and red robes holding a sword and a book, standing on a gilded base before a distant landscape.

Saint Paul

A bearded, haloed man in green and red robes stands on an ornate gilded base, holding a closed book in his right hand and a tall, hilted sword in his left. Behind him a pale green landscape with a winding river and distant town recedes to the horizon.
