About this work

This painting shows an older man with a long white beard and curly hair tied back. He’s wearing a dark hat and a dark robe with a fur collar. In his left hand, he holds a small object that looks like a key or tool, and in his right hand, a globe with a map of what appears to be a city. The globe has Greek writing on it, and the man’s robe is decorated with medals and crosses. The painting feels serious and detailed, focusing on the man’s face and hands.
