Pedro de Mena

Cleveland Museum of Art

The statue depicts a man with a bald head and a halo above his head. He is wearing a long robe with a rope tied around his waist and a cape. His right hand is raised with the palm facing upwards and his left hand holds an open book. The statue appears to be made of bronze or a similar material. The figure is standing on a square base. The halo is circular and made of metal. The man has a gaunt face with prominent facial features. He appears to be barefoot. The background of the image is grey and white, with a gradient that gets darker at the top.
