National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person wearing long flowing robes and a hood, standing upright. They are facing slightly to the left, with hands in front holding a saw. The person has distinct facial features, a contemplative expression, and their hair is mostly covered. The attire features draping folds and layered fabric, with no visible jewelry. In the background, there is a textured surface with artistic accents, including a halo around the head and the name "Juda" in stylized script. The floor has a tiled pattern.
