Profeta Miqueias is a 1450 oil by Unknown, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Augustine of Hippo, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This painting depicts a man in a red hat and black robe, holding a long, white scroll with black text. The man's head is tilted slightly to the left, and he has a long, brown beard. The man is set against a gray background, surrounded by an ornate, gold frame with a pointed arch at the top. The frame is decorated with intricate carvings and has a small, illegible inscription at the bottom. The painting is done in oil paint and features a mix of realistic and stylized elements. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's face and the scroll he holds.
