This engraving by Giovanni Marco Pitteri, titled *God the Father and Eleven of the Twelve Apostles*, depicts Saint Matthew in profile. He is shown with his hand resting on a book, indicating his role as a writer and evangelist. Pitteri's use of shading creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the details of the figure's anatomy and attire. The print, part of a series of engravings, likely served as a devotional image for the faithful.
