The Pope is shown as a full-length male figure, facing front, and seated on a throne with lion armrests. He wears his papal hat and holds a staff, looking very important. This image is part of a series that shows different social classes, which is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into how people thought about social hierarchy back then. Check out the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
