Enthroned Pope Healing a Man

Enthroned Pope Healing a Man

Unidentified Artist

French

The Pope, seated on a throne at the right, leans forward toward the possessed person, who is held on the steps of the papal throne by a half-nude figure; other figures stand in the left background in the shadow of an arcaded and columned baroque building; a group of prelates stands at the right, and in the foreground are Roman warriors and female figures.

Black and brown ink, and gray and brown wash over black chalk, laid down on a decorated mount, framing lines in brown ink
