It’s unclear if this painting is a copy after de Gheyn III’s etching of the same subject, or if the painting was made first. A preparatory drawing (Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest) depicts Paul in reverse.\n\nIn both etching and drawing, the foreground extends further than in the painting, and the tip of the sword protrudes over a ledge. The engraved Saint Paul is a companion piece to an engraving of Saint Peter: the two apostles face each other. In both painting and print, Paul’s attributes are a book – the bespectacled saint is reading what is likely to be the Gospel of Christ – and a sword, symbolising his martyrdom.\n\nJacob de Gheyn III was not as prolific as his father. He became a collector and had his portrait painted by the young Rembrandt (Dulwich Picture Gallery, London), whose paintings he owned.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/after-jacob-de-gheyn-iii-saint-paul-seated-reading\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Saint Paul Seated Reading\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacob De Gheyn III","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509377634547,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (47 3\/8\" x 38 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509377667315,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20\" x 16 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509377700083,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 3\/8\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509377732851,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 7\/8\" x 24 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509377765619,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 5\/8\" x 31 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509377798387,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/8\" x 37 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509377831155,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 5\/8\" x 44\")","offer_id":50509377863923,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 1\/2\" x 53\")","offer_id":50509377896691,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/SaintPaulseatedreading.jpg?v=1788514152","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/saint-paul-seated-reading-ngal86","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
