With later coloration added, this print beautifully captures the essence of a significant figure in Roman Catholic history. The portrait depicts Pope Calixte I, who served as pontiff from 217 to 222 AD. His distinguished profile radiates wisdom and devotion, reflecting his role as a spiritual leader within the papal hierarchy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, highlighting intricate facial features that convey both strength and gentleness.
