Full-length depiction of a bearded man in dark robes with a golden halo, pointing down
Detailed Description
A tall, narrow, vertical image depicts a full-length male figure. The man stands centrally, facing slightly to his left, with his gaze directed forward. He has a dark, full beard and short, dark hair, and a golden halo with small black dots encircles his head. His skin tone is light brown. He wears a dark, olive-green tunic under a voluminous, dark blue-gray cloak that drapes around his body, creating deep folds. His left hand, with long, slender fingers, points downwards towards the lower left. His right hand is mostly obscured by the cloak, but it appears to hold a dark, rectangular object, possibly a book, tucked under his arm. The background behind his head features a light pink archway set within a gray rectangular frame. Below the archway, the background is a muted, light brown-gray. The lower portion of the image shows a horizontal band of light pink, beneath which is a wider band of light gray. The entire image is framed by a thin, dark brown border.
