caption: The image shows a black and white photo of a man with a long beard, believed to be Pope John Paul II, sitting in a chair. He is wearing a white robe and has a serious expression on his face. His hands are clasped in front of him and his eyes are looking off to the side. His hair is long and dark and his beard is full and well-groomed. He appears to be in a contemplative pose, as if he is deep in thought.
