The image shows a painting of a man with a halo, holding a book in his left hand and making a gesture with his right. He wears a red robe with a green vest over it, and the background is blue. The painting is framed by an orange border with a floral pattern. The man's face is serious, and he has a long white beard. The book he holds is open, and his right hand is raised as if in blessing. The overall effect is one of calm and contemplation. The painting is a representation of Saint Nicholas, and it is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
