About this work

This painting shows a bearded man with a halo sitting on a rock. He’s holding a bunch of grapes and looks calm, with a cross behind him. Around him are bright colors—red grapes, yellow leaves, and a blue sky with a rainbow. Below, smaller faces peek out from a wavy line, like they’re watching from the water. The cross behind him has a circle with three dots, which might stand for something special. The way the artist drew the lines and shading gives it a rough, handmade feel. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists create depth with lines.
