Paus met schenkkan 1757 - 1774

"Paus met schenkkan" (Pope with a Jug) is an etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, the son of the renowned Venetian painter, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created between 1757 and 1774, the artwork depicts a close-up portrait of an aged Pope, his head bowed in contemplation, as he holds a pitcher in his hands. The fine lines and delicate shading of the etching, characteristic of Tiepolo's style, create a sense of realism and depth in the composition, capturing the solemnity of the Pope's expression.
