This painting shows a bearded man with a golden halo, wearing a red robe over a blue cloak. He holds a green globe in one hand and makes a slight gesture with the other. The background is a flat blue with faint gold letters. The globe and halo are classic symbols for religious paintings of this kind. The colors are bright but faded, suggesting age. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings like this.
