The painting depicts a man dressed in a long robe, with a halo surrounding his head. He is holding a book in his left hand and a red cross in his right. The background of the painting is gold, and there are decorative elements around the man. The man's attire and the halo suggest that he is a religious figure. The book he is holding may symbolize knowledge or scripture. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this painting, you can look up Benvenuto di Giovanni.
