A vertically oriented oil painting depicts Christ, a man with light skin tone, long dark hair, and a beard. Facing us with eyes downcast and mouth slightly open, a thin golden halo encircles his head. He wears a white tunic under a dark cloak, resting his right hand on his chest. He emerges from a background of dark blue and green brushwork, with a signature in the upper left corner.
