About this work

This painting shows a bearded man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a white robe with brown folds and a green collar. Around his neck hangs a cross with a red heart on it. His halo is gold, and the background is simple with a few dark leaves. The red heart on the cross is a common symbol for Jesus’ love. The painting looks old, with some wear on the edges. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
