About this work

This painting shows a bearded man with a serious face, dressed in a blue robe with gold stripes and a green sash. His hands are clasped in prayer, and he has a golden halo behind his head. The background is a simple gold with rays of light shining down. The name "Ioachim" is written in Greek letters at the top and bottom of the image, hinting this is a religious figure. The style looks old, with flat colors and no shadows. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
