About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in a red robe with a blue underlayer, standing between two red pillars. His right hand is raised slightly, and he holds a book in his left hand. The background is a dark blue, and there’s a small figure at the bottom, possibly kneeling. The name "Simon" is written above his head in what looks like old script. The colors are flat with little shading, and the man’s face has a calm expression. If you’re curious about how this style compares to others, look up *composition* in art.
