Brief Description

A young man with dark curly hair stands in a doorway, flanked by decorated columns and foliage

Detailed Description

A young man stands in a doorway, framed by two large, reddish-brown columns. The man is positioned slightly to the right of the center, leaning against the left column. He has dark, curly hair and a short beard, and looks directly forward. He wears a loose-fitting white tunic with wide sleeves, a dark red sash wrapped around his waist, and a colorful striped cloth draped over his left hip. His feet are clad in red sandals. He holds a small, light-colored, feather-like object in his right hand, which hangs at his side. The columns are decorated with horizontal bands of blue, yellow, and green near their capitals, which are also striped with green and red. The left column features a vertical, rectangular panel containing stylized symbols in yellow, red, and blue. To the left of this column, a tall, multi-stemmed cactus-like plant with dark green, gnarled branches grows upwards. Behind the man, through the open doorway, a sunlit courtyard or garden is visible with palm trees and other foliage. The right side of the doorway is formed by a dark, open wooden door, which also has a decorative element near its top. The ground beneath the man's feet is a light-colored stone step.
