Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man in a green robe stands barefoot, holding a large wooden cross before a stormy sky

Detailed Description

A full-length depiction shows a standing, bearded man positioned centrally, facing slightly to his left with his head tilted upwards. He has a long white beard and hair. He is draped in a flowing, bright green robe that covers most of his body, worn over a dark, possibly black, undergarment. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand open, palm up, and fingers slightly splayed. His right arm extends downwards, with his hand resting on a large, rough wooden cross that leans against his right side. The cross, formed by two intersecting beams, extends from near the bottom of the frame to the top, angled diagonally. The man's bare feet are visible on the dark, uneven ground beneath him. The upper half of the image is dominated by a turbulent sky with dark, heavy clouds interspersed with lighter, swirling patches of blue and white. In the mid-ground to the left, lighter, textured terrain with hints of green foliage and distant structures can be seen under a darker sky.
