About this work

This is a tall, narrow drawing of a bearded man in a long robe. His hair is wavy and white, and he wears a halo. One hand holds a small book with writing on it. The robe has a diagonal stripe and a few flowers near his feet. The drawing looks old, with faded colors and some rough edges. The man’s face and clothes are simple but detailed, especially the folds in the fabric. Look up Renaissance next to see how this style changed art.
