Agostino Veneziano's engraving, "Pope Paul III in a Skullcap," depicts the 220th Pope of the Catholic Church in profile, showcasing his stern countenance and signature headwear. Created between 1514 and 1536, this portrait, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the detail and realism of the Renaissance period. The inscription "PAvLVS. III. PONT. MAX M D XXXIIII" confirms the identity of the subject and dates the artwork to the year of Pope Paul III's ascension.
