This painting shows a bearded man in a blue robe with red trim, standing between two red pillars. His right hand is raised with fingers spread, and he holds a small book in his left hand. The background is mostly dark with a few gold letters above his head. The letters spell out "Marcu," which might be a clue to his identity. The colors are simple but bold, with flat areas of color and no shading. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
