About this work

This painting is a drawing, and it's quite old. The subject is a person with a halo, and they're holding a flower and a cross. The person is wearing a robe, and there's a cult object in the background. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about this style of drawing, you might want to look up the technique of cross-hatching.
