The image is a close-up of a fresco on a wall. The fresco depicts a man with a long beard and a crown of thorns on his head. He is wearing a long robe and is holding a book in his right hand. The man appears to be in a meditative pose, with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression on his face. The background is a mix of brown and black, with some areas of white and red. The painting is done in a traditional Byzantine style, with loose brushstrokes and rough texture.
