Brief Description

A bare-chested, bearded figure with a halo and crossed hands, in a pointed arch frame

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts a bare-chested, bearded figure within a pointed arch frame. The figure occupies the majority of the central panel, facing forward with a slight downward gaze. Long, dark hair falls to the shoulders, and a dark beard covers the chin and jawline. The figure's arms are crossed over the lower abdomen, with hands clasped. A golden halo, featuring a faint cross shape, encircles the head against a dark, reddish-brown background. The skin tone of the figure is a muted, earthy green-brown. The background is dark and appears textured, with some lighter, possibly gold, flecks visible, particularly around the halo. The frame itself is a prominent, raised border, also in a golden hue, showing signs of wear and age with areas of darker patina and exposed underlying material.
