About this work

St. Ambrose, church father and bishop of Milan, is working in his study. He supports his head with a hand and sits on a throne under a canopy at a table. In front of him, an open book on a lectern. He is dressed in a bishop's mantle and wears a miter on his head. In his hand, the bishop's staff. Below the image, an explanatory text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
