About this work

This painting shows a serious-faced man in a red robe with gold trim. His dark hair is short, and he wears a greenish tunic underneath. His right hand is raised, palm out, as if blessing or teaching. The background is plain gold, with four round labels in red and black text around his head. The labels likely name virtues or roles tied to the figure—common in religious art. The paint looks old, with some flaking, but the colors are still bold. Look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and symbols in religious paintings.
