This painting shows a bearded man in a gold halo holding a scroll. His robes are striped with black and white, and his sleeves have small dots and crosses. The scroll has writing in a language that looks like Greek. The painting is flat and bright, with bold colors and clear lines. The man’s face is simple but serious, and the gold background makes him stand out. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow work in other paintings.
