A bearded man in a brown robe holds an open book, a crucifixion scene in the background
A vertical painting shows a bearded man in a dark brown, loose robe, positioned in the foreground and looking directly forward. He has a dark beard and a receding hairline. His left hand is clenched into a fist, resting near his waist, while his right hand holds an open, dark green book. The man's robe is voluminous, covering most of his body, with a visible white cuff on his right wrist. In the upper left background, a smaller-scale scene shows a crucifixion, with a figure on a cross and several other figures gathered below, some in red and blue garments. The background behind the man and the crucifixion scene is a dark, muted landscape featuring rolling hills, sparse trees, and a dark, cloudy sky that transitions from a lighter teal-blue on the left to a darker blue-green on the right. The overall lighting is dim, with the man's face and hands being the most illuminated elements.
