What are the conventions for drawing icons of Pope St Leo the Great? Naturally I'm no iconographer but I should at least like to try drawing in that style ala Duccio di Buoninsegna. So can anyone tell me how I should draw Pope St Leo?

Thanks Rose from all the pics I've seen of him Pope St Leo seems to generally appear as a balding white haired, white beared individual in episcopal attire. *Shrugs* Sounds like I've got my drawing plan then wink
