Visual Summary

Brief Description

A person with long brown hair, a light beard, and a dark reddish-brown cloak

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts a person with light skin, long brown hair, and a light brown beard, looking directly forward. The figure's face is oval-shaped with light brown eyes and a small nose. Their long, wavy brown hair is parted in the middle and falls over their shoulders. A white collar is visible at the neck, covered by a voluminous, dark reddish-brown cloak or robe that drapes over the shoulders and arms. The person's hands are clasped together at the center of their chest, holding a small, dark, curved object. The background is predominantly dark, almost black, with a faint, dark, cylindrical column or architectural element visible on the right side behind the figure's right shoulder. The face and hands are brightly illuminated, creating a strong contrast with the deep shadows of the background and clothing.
