This painting shows a serious-looking man with a dark beard and short dark hair. He’s wearing a red robe over a lighter tunic, and his right hand is raised slightly, as if holding something. The background is a flat gold pattern with swirling designs, and the edges of the painting are worn and faded. The figure looks like a religious teacher, based on the pose and the golden halo behind his head. The colors are simple but bold, with the red robe standing out against the gold. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
