A delegation from the Vatican Museums presented Pope Leo XIV with a restored painting of Saint Augustine. The work is by an anonymous 18th-century Roman artist, and was restored by the Laboratory for the Restoration of Paintings and Wood Materials.

The painting, restored by the Laboratory for the Restoration of Paintings and Wood Materials, is a copy of the figure of Saint Augustine, which appears in the fresco "Discussion of the Holy Sacrament" by Raphael Sanzio, completed in 1509 in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican Palaces.
