Visual Summary

Brief Description

A standing male figure with a halo, holding a staff and a book, in a gilded arch

Detailed Description

A full-length standing male figure is depicted. The figure has light brown, wavy hair and a short, dark beard, framed by a circular, golden halo with radiating lines. He wears a long, flowing orange tunic, a pink outer garment draped over his left shoulder and arm, and a green sash across his chest. His left hand holds a tall, slender staff that extends from the bottom of the depiction to his shoulder. His right hand holds a closed, rectangular red book with gold detailing. The figure stands on a patch of green ground. Behind his head, a pointed, gilded arch with a quatrefoil pattern frames the upper part of the figure. The arch is set within a larger, rectangular border, which has a raised, gilded edge with a repeating leaf motif along the sides of the figure. The overall color palette is rich with gold, pink, orange, and green tones.
