About this work

This painting shows a serious-looking man with a beard and dark hair. He’s wearing a blue robe over a red shirt and holds a small, decorated book with a cross on it. The background is bright blue with gold writing at the top, and he has a golden ring around his head. The book he’s holding looks like a religious text, and the writing above his head is in Greek. This kind of image was often used to show important religious figures. If you like this style, check out evangeliary next.
