Detailed Description
A vertical image depicts a male figure from the chest up, set within an arched golden frame. The figure, positioned centrally, has a dark beard and mustache. His mouth is closed, and his gaze is directed forward. He wears a light grey cap and a halo of golden rays with a dotted border around his head. His skin tone is olive. He is dressed in a blue tunic with a gold-trimmed collar, covered by a large, flowing brown cloak draped over his shoulders and arms, also with gold trim. In his left hand, held at chest level, he grasps a large golden key and a smaller, dark key. His right hand, positioned lower, holds a closed red book with gold clasps and detailing. The background behind the figure is entirely gold, textured with fine lines, and features an arched design above his head. Within the upper corners of the arch, two small circular medallions depict winged figures, one on the left and one on the right, against a dark background.
