About this work

This image shows a serious-looking man with a dark beard and short curly hair. He’s wearing a crown and a robe with a cross on it. The background is a dark green with gold stars, and the edges of the painting have a fancy, worn gold frame. The paint looks old and faded, but you can still see the careful lines and colors used. The face is simple but stands out against the dark background. If you want to learn more, check out the technique: cross-hatching.
