Brief Description

A bearded man in a brown habit kneels in a cave, looking up at a crucifix, an open book

Detailed Description

A bearded man in a cave looks upwards towards a crucifix. The man, positioned on the right side of the frame, wears a light brown monastic habit with a rope tied around his waist. He has short dark hair and a full beard, and his gaze is directed towards the upper left. His right hand is open, palm facing upwards, holding a small, dark, irregular object. His left hand is also open, resting near an open book on a dark surface in the lower left corner. To the left of the man, a crucifix is visible. The figure of Christ is pale, with a white loincloth, affixed to a tall, rough wooden cross that extends from the lower left towards the top left. Behind the crucifix, a dark blue sky with a faint orange glow on the horizon is visible. A hilly, rocky landscape with sparse, dark vegetation stretches into the distance, with two small, dark figures discernible on a distant hill. Green leaves are visible at the top right, appearing to be foliage at the cave opening. The open book in the lower left corner shows two pages. The left page contains two columns of red text. The right page features two columns of black text with some red accents. The visible text on the right page reads: "O quam suavis est Domine spiritus tuus qui ut dulcedinem tuam in filios demonstres dignaris eos etiam de pane celesti saturare."
