About this work

This painting shows a serious-looking man with a dark beard and short dark hair. He’s wearing a dark robe and a golden halo behind his head. His right hand holds a small book, and he’s looking straight ahead. The background is mostly dark blue with a few faded figures in the corners. The man’s face is lit from above, making his features stand out sharply against the dark. The edges of the painting look worn, like it’s been around for a long time. Want to know more? Look up chiaroscuro.
