About this work

This pen and brown ink drawing, titled Pope Leo X Appointing Cardinals and attributed to Giorgio Vasari, shows a seated pontiff in a colonnaded hall receiving kneeling and standing clergy in flowing robes. Rows of onlookers fill the background between tall, twisted columns beneath a coffered ceiling, and faint grid lines suggest a transfer or preparatory layout. The work is catalogued as a print by Wikimedia Commons.
