St Paul 1862

Edward Burne-Jones's 1862 "St Paul" is a pen and ink drawing depicting the apostle St Paul in profile, his head bowed in prayer. The drawing is set within a circular frame, suggestive of a stained glass window, and is characterized by the artist's distinctive linear style, employing bold, fluid lines. Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, often drew inspiration from medieval art and symbolism, evident in this work's devotional subject matter and stylized forms.
