About this work
An elderly, bearded man is shown in profile, his head bowed slightly as he looks down at a large hand resting on a pale, lit surface in the foreground, perhaps a book or table edge. He wears wire-rimmed glasses and a dark cassock-like garment traced with a narrow gilded stole, set against an indistinct olive-green and ochre backdrop.
Warm greens, ochres, and touches of gold are built up in loose, dragged strokes, with the man's face and hand picked out in pale, luminous highlights against the surrounding shadow. The soft focus and murky, atmospheric background lend the scene a hushed, contemplative solemnity, centering attention on the exchange between the two unseen presences.
