Brief Description

Portrait of a bearded man in a white hooded robe against a deep red background

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait depicts a man from the chest up, framed by a dark, textured border. The man, with light skin, is positioned slightly to the right of the image's vertical center, his head turned slightly to his right, and his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has short, dark brown hair with a visible tonsure and a long, full, reddish-brown beard that extends down to his chest. His eyes are light blue, and his nose is prominent. He wears a white hooded robe with a wide collar, the hood resting on his shoulders. The fabric of the robe shows soft folds and shadows, particularly around his neck and chest. The background is a solid, deep red, with subtle variations in color and texture, creating a sense of depth behind the figure. The lighting illuminates his face and the upper part of his robe, casting soft shadows. Along the bottom edge of the dark frame, light-colored text is visible, reading 'PETRUS X DIL ME FECIT A 1509'. A small, dark, irregular shape rests on the white robe near the bottom center.
