About this work

You see Saint Demetrios in profile. His red robe stands out against a plain gold background. He holds a long spear and a small shield. Papaloukas used simple lines to show folds in the cloth. The face has few details—just calm eyes and a straight nose. This feels like an early sketch, not a finished icon. Look up Spyros Papaloukas next.
