This painting is a study of a man in a white robe, possibly Jesus Christ. The figure is centered in the composition, with his arms at his sides and his head turned slightly to the right. The background is a muted gray-brown color, with some darker shadows visible behind the figure. The painting appears to be a preparatory work for a larger piece, as evidenced by the rough brushstrokes and the lack of detail in the background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figure, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
