Place

Mosul · today Iraq

Date

1900s

Full-length portrait of Mutrâv Paulus in embroidered vestments and mitre, holding a crozier and a small cross, standing on a striped rug before a dark backdrop. The plate, captioned "Mutrâv Paulus, Bishop of the Syrian Roman Catholic Church in Mosul", faces p. 192 of M. E. Hume-Griffith's Behind the Veil in Persia and Turkish Arabia (1909); "Mutrâv" is likely a rendering of the Arabic title mutran (bishop).
