About this work

This drawing shows a bearded man with long hair and a calm face. He’s wearing a red robe over a darker tunic, with one hand raised in a slight gesture. Behind his head is a golden circle with Greek letters. In his left hand, he holds a book with writing on it. The painting looks old, with some wear on the colors and edges. The letters behind his head are part of a symbol often used in religious art. Look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and symbols in religious works.
