This engraving by Lambert Suavius depicts Saint Simon, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, in a contemplative pose. The figure of St. Simon stands in a niche, with his hand resting on an open book. This print is part of a larger series of engravings by Suavius, titled "Christ and the Twelve Apostles". The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to create depth and realism within the composition, portraying the saint in a moment of quiet reflection. The artist’s signature, “L. Suavius Invene,” appears in the lower right corner of the print.
