About this work

This painting depicts a man dressed in regal attire, wearing a crown and a red and blue robe. He holds a long, white scroll in his hands. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, which complements the cool tones of the man's clothing. The use of tempera in this painting adds a sense of depth and texture to the image.
